Sobre l'autor
Zane Grey, born Pearl Zane Gray on January 31, 1872, emerged as a preeminent figure in early 20th-century American literature, renowned for his prolific work in the Western genre. With his narrative strength revolving around frontier life, Grey's mastery in capturing the untamed landscapes and the spirit of the American West is unparalleled. His knack for adventure led him to diverse settings, including the lush realms featured in 'Ken Ward in the Jungle' (1912), a testament to his versatility beyond the conventional Western setting. A dentist by training, Grey's transition to a full-time writing career was catalyzed by a fateful meeting with Colonel C.J. 'Buffalo' Jones, after which he penned his first Western success, 'The Last of the Plainsmen' (1908). His legacy, however, was immortalized through the novel 'Riders of the Purple Sage' (1912), which stands as a cornerstone of the genre. Zane Grey's literary style was characterized by vivid description, robust characterizations, and a romanticized yet authentic portrayal of the Old West's trials and tribulations. His work not only entertained but also carefully documented the cultural ethos of an era, greatly influencing public perceptions of the American frontier. Before his death on October 23, 1939, Grey authored over 90 books, encompassing novels, short stories, and nonfiction, leaving an indelible mark on American Western literature. His books persisted in popularity, many adapted into films, inviting new generations to explore the wilderness through his written word.
