关于作者
Zane Grey (1872-1939) was an American author best known for his popular adventure novels and stories that presented an idealized image of the American frontier. Born as Pearl Zane Gray in Zanesville, Ohio, he later adjusted the spelling of his first name and dropped his middle name. Trained as a dentist, Grey left his dental practice to pursue his dream of writing. Drawing upon his love for the outdoors and the American West, he became one of the earliest authors to popularize the Western genre. Grey’s novels are characterized by vivid descriptions of the landscape and a romanticized view of heroic cowboys, rugged frontiersmen, and untamed nature. Among his most notable works is ‘Riders of the Purple Sage’ (1912), which became one of his best-selling books and a defining work of the Western genre. ‘The Day of the Beast’ (1922) continues Grey’s tradition of action and adventure, showcasing his storytelling prowess and his ability to capture the essence of the American wilderness. With over 90 books to his name, and many adapted into films, Grey’s work profoundly influenced the shaping of the Western mythos that still endures in American culture. His literary style often highlighted the tensions between the wild environment and the encroachment of civilization, themes resonating through the years and affirming his legacy as a principal architect of the genre.
