作者简介
Ernest Bramah, born Ernest Brammah Smith on March 20, 1868, in Manchester, England, was a prolific English author known for his detective fiction, including the creation of the blind detective Max Carrados. Bramah's literary work encompasses various genres, ranging from fantasy and science fiction to political satire, but his enduring legacy is entwined with the Max Carrados tales, which first appeared in 'The Strand Magazine' and were later compiled in 'Max Carrados' (1914). Carrados challenged preconceptions about handicap and simultaneously intrigued audiences with clever mysteries alongside his loyal assistant, Louis Carlyle. Bramah's ingenuity in devising complex plots and his vivid characterization of Carrados established him as a notable figure in the Golden Age of Detective Fiction alongside contemporaries like Arthur Conan Doyle. 'Max Carrados' swayed readers with its unorthodox protagonist and richly detailed narratives, contributing to Bramah's status as a master storyteller. Though his life was shrouded with as much mystery as his fiction—little is known about his private affairs—Bramah's body of work speaks volumes about his imagination and mastery of the written word. He passed away on June 27, 1942, leaving behind an oeuvre that continues to enthrall readers and influence writers within the detective and mystery genre. Bramah's singular style, which is marked by wit, erudite allusions, and a deep humanism, remains a distinguished contribution to English literature.
