关于作者
R. Austin Freeman (1862-1943) was an influential British writer of detective stories, most famous for his creation of the character Dr. John Thorndyke, a medical jurisprudence expert who applies scientific methods to solve crimes. Born in London, Freeman pursued a career in medicine, a background that lent authenticity to his intricately plotted mysteries. His writing career flourished during the early 20th century, a time when detective fiction was rapidly gaining popularity. ‘The Case of Oscar Brodski’ is one of many stories featuring Dr. Thorndyke and exhibits Freeman’s pioneering use of the ‘inverted detective story’ format, where the method and perpetrator are revealed upfront, and the narrative follows the investigator’s path to the same conclusion. This technique displayed Freeman’s ingenuity and allowed him to focus on the forensic science aspects of detection, an angle that distinguished his work from contemporaries. Freeman’s legacy lies not only in his narrative innovation but in his meticulous attention to scientific accuracy and logical deduction, solidifying his place in the pantheon of classic detective fiction authors. His works are seen as a critical bridge between Edgar Allan Poe’s pioneering detective stories and the Golden Age of Detective Fiction epitomized by Agatha Christie and Dorothy L. Sayers.
