Acerca de este libro electrónico
In "Gabriel Samara," E. Phillips Oppenheim crafts a compelling narrative that weaves intrigue and romance within the backdrop of early 20th-century Europe. The novel, characterized by Oppenheim's trademark fluid prose and keen psychological insight, explores themes of identity, ambition, and betrayal. It navigates the complexities of the human condition through its engaging protagonist, Gabriel, whose encounters with various societal factions reveal both the glamour and the moral ambiguities of his time. As a work of fiction, it reflects the shifting dynamics of a post-Victorian society, intertwining personal ambitions with broader historical currents. Oppenheim, a prolific author known as the "Prince of Storytellers," was deeply influenced by the societal changes and cultural tensions of his era. His background in journalism and his experiences in London during a time of turbulent political change allowed him to develop a keen sense of narrative suspense and character development. This exposure not only informed his literary voice but also provided a rich tapestry of contexts for his characters, enhancing the realism of their dilemmas. "Gabriel Samara" is highly recommended for readers seeking a thoughtful exploration of character and society through the lens of a master storyteller. Oppenheim's nuanced portrayal of ambition and moral conflict invites readers to reflect on the age-old question of what it truly means to seek one's place in the world.
Acerca del autor
E. Phillips Oppenheim (1866–1946) was a prolific British writer, known for his thrilling novels and short stories that deftly combined elements of romance, espionage, and mystery. His literary career spanned 60 years, producing over 100 novels and numerous short story collections which earned him the title of the 'prince of storytellers'. Among his notable works, 'Gabriel Samara, Peacemaker' stands out as a fine example of his characteristic blend of political intrigue and adventure, set against an international backdrop. Oppenheim's writing style was distinguished by its narrative pace and an ability to draw readers into luxurious settings populated with sharply drawn characters who navigated complex plots with stylish flair. His works were immensely popular during his lifetime, translating into major commercial success and adaptations for stage and screen. Although his prominence has faded since his heyday in the early 20th century, Oppenheim's contributions to the thriller genre remain influential. Scholars examining his oeuvre consider his storytelling techniques to be precursors to today's popular spy novels and international thrillers (Stevenson, 2001). In summarizing his appeal, critics often point to his mastery of suspense and the cosmopolitan allure that pervades his stories, capturing the zeitgeist of Edwardian and interwar Europe (Sutherland, 1990).
