Giới thiệu tác giả
Edgar Wallace, born Richard Horatio Edgar Wallace on April 1, 1875, in Greenwich, London, was a prolific British writer and one of the most popular and productive authors of the early 20th century. Wallace's astounding literary career began with war correspondence and expanded to writing crime novels, plays, and journalism. Over his lifetime, he wrote more than 175 novels, 24 plays, and numerous articles and short stories, resulting in sales of over 50 million copies of his works. A defining feature of Wallace's literary style was his fast-paced narratives and engaging plots, which often delved into the realms of crime, adventure, and mystery. His body of work encompassed a wide variety of genres including detective thrillers, historical adventures, and espionage. One of his lesser-known contributions is 'Penelope of the Polyantha,' which, like many of his novels, showcases his ability to create compelling characters and weave complex, riveting tales. Although not as widely recognized as some of his other works, this novel encapsulates the hallmarks of Wallace's narrative prowess and serves as a testament to his enduring legacy. Wallace's influence on the crime genre was significant, and he is perhaps best remembered for creating the character of J.G. Reeder and his contributions to the screenplay for the film King Kong (1933). His sudden death from undiagnosed diabetes on February 10, 1932, in Hollywood, during the initial stages of King Kong's production, marked the end of a luminary career. Wallace remains a towering figure in genre fiction, an author whose extensive oeuvre continues to be enjoyed by readers around the world.
