Sobre l'autor
Bret Harte (1836–1902) was an American short story writer and poet who played a significant role in introducing readers to the life and landscapes of the Californian frontier during the mid to late 19th century. Best known for his tales of the American West, Harte's keen observations and vivid storytelling brought the struggles, triumphs, and characters of the California Gold Rush to life. One of his lesser-known works, 'A Millionaire of Rough-and-Ready,' is a novella that exemplifies his distinctive literary style—combining wit, local color, and a deep empathy for his characters. Harte's influence extended beyond his narratives; his usage of regional dialects and portrayal of frontier life influenced later Western writers and helped to define the genre of Western American literature. His contemporaries, including Mark Twain, recognized the density of his prose and the poignancy of his humor. Though some critics have argued that his romanticized vision of the West downplayed its harsher realities, Harte's work remains a valuable component of American literary heritage, providing insight into the cultural fabric of a pivotal era in U.S. history.
