Autorenporträt
Ernest Bramah (1868–1942) was an English author best known for his imaginative and often humorous works that reflected a masterful use of language and an inventive approach to storytelling. With a literary career spanning several decades, Bramah remains most celebrated for his creation of the indelible character Kai Lung, an itinerant storyteller of ancient China, who features prominently in his book 'Kai Lung Unrolls His Mat' along with several other works in the Kai Lung series. This particular novel is esteemed for its clever use of a pseudo-archaic and playful style, laced with the protagonist's use of allegorical narratives to navigate through precarious situations. Bramah's skill in weaving tales within tales garnered him a place among noted fantasists of his time. His inventive prose influenced the fantasy genre and served as an antecedent to the high fantasy style later popularised by authors such as Tolkien. Beyond the Kai Lung series, Bramah was also notable for his Max Carrados books, featuring a blind detective, which were contemporary to and held in similar esteem as Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes. His contributions to English literature endure due to his unique blend of satire, fantasy, and detective fiction—a testament to his stylistic ingenuity and his subtle social commentary.
