O ovoj e-knjizi
1945. Edgar Wallace established his reputation as a writer of detective thrillers, a genre in which he wrote more than 170 books, with the publication of The Four Just Men. In Sanders of the River, Wallace relates the trials and adventures of Mr. Commissioner Sanders in a remote district of West Africa. Grim humour, pathos and tragedy are so skilfully blended and the incidents so vividly depicted, that it is hard to believe they are fictitious. Sanders is a remarkable personality. Keeping a watchful eye on a quarter of a million cannibal folk, his methods of administration are peculiarly his own-and peculiarly successful. (Amazon)
O autoru
Edgar Wallace, born Richard Horatio Edgar Wallace on April 1, 1875, in Greenwich, London, was a prolific British author, playwright, and journalist whose works have left an indelible mark on the crime and thriller genres. Wallace's life was as colorful as his fiction; he was born out of wedlock and adopted by a fish porter and his wife, which instilled in him a resilience that would define his career.Wallace's early life was marked by a series of odd jobs, including a stint in the British Army, before he found his calling in journalism. His reporting during the Second Boer War brought him recognition, but it was his transition to fiction that cemented his legacy. Wallace's prodigious output—over 170 novels, 24 plays, and countless articles—earned him the moniker "The King of Thrillers." His creation of enduring characters like Inspector J.G. Reeder and Sanders of the River captivated readers and influenced contemporaries and successors alike, including Agatha Christie and Alfred Hitchcock.Wallace's work was not without controversy. His involvement in the film industry, particularly with the early drafts of the screenplay for "King Kong," showcased his innovative spirit but also highlighted tensions between creative vision and commercial pressures. Despite his immense popularity, Wallace struggled with financial instability, often due to his extravagant lifestyle and relentless work pace.A visionary in serialized storytelling, Wallace's influence extends beyond literature into film and television, where his narratives continue to inspire adaptations. His ability to blend high-stakes drama with intricate plotting has made his work timeless, ensuring that Edgar Wallace remains a cornerstone of the thriller genre.
