O autoru
Anna Katharine Green (1846–1935) was a pioneering figure in the American detective fiction genre, predating even the likes of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Green's literary career began with the publication of 'The Leavenworth Case' (1878), which was widely acclaimed for its intricate plot and legal accuracy, setting a new standard for detective novels. She is often regarded as the mother of the detective novel, crafting stories that emphasized the intellect and rigor of investigation, rather than the sensationalism prevalent in fiction of her epoch. Green's legacy includes more than 40 novels, embracing detective stories, poetry, and screenplays. Her works such as 'A Strange Disappearance' (1880) and 'The Step on the Stair' (1923) exemplify her adeptness at creating engaging puzzles and richly drawn characters, a testament to her narrative skill. Her influence extended beyond literature; Green's stories are noted to have inspired generations of writers, including the creators of iconic literary detectives like Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot. 'The Defence of the Bride', while lesser-known, represents Green's deft use of suspense and her ability to weave legal drama seamlessly into the fabric of her mystery-writing. More than a century after her death, Green's novels continue to captivate readers, cementing her place in the annals of classic American mystery writing.
