Autorenporträt
James Matthew Barrie, born on May 9, 1860, in Kirriemuir, Scotland, was a prolific Scottish novelist and playwright best known for creating Peter Pan. He grew up in a large family, the ninth of ten children, and his early life was deeply influenced by the tragic death of his older brother David. This event, particularly the way his mother coped with the loss by clinging to the idea that David would remain a boy forever, is often cited as a significant inspiration for Barrie's later work, especially the character of Peter Pan. Barrie's storytelling abilities were evident from a young age, and he pursued his passion for writing, eventually studying at the University of Edinburgh.Barrie began his literary career as a journalist before finding success as a novelist and playwright. His early works, which nostalgically depicted life in small-town Scotland, brought him initial recognition. However, it was his friendship with the Llewelyn Davies family, particularly the five boys, that truly shaped his legacy. Inspired by their imaginative play, Barrie created Peter Pan, a character that first appeared in his 1902 novel The Little White Bird and was later immortalized in the 1904 play Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up. The story of the boy who never ages resonated with audiences, and Barrie continued to develop the world of Neverland in subsequent works.Barrie's contributions to literature and theater were recognized with numerous honors, including being made a baronet in 1913 and receiving the Order of Merit in 1922. Despite his other successful works, Peter Pan overshadowed much of his career. Barrie's philanthropy also left a lasting impact; in 1929, he gifted the copyright of Peter Pan to Great Ormond Street Hospital, a children's hospital in London, ensuring that the work would continue to benefit children long after his death. Barrie passed away on June 19, 1937, in London, but his creation of Peter Pan remains a cornerstone of children's literature.
