Autorenporträt
Edgar Wallace was a prolific British writer and journalist, born on April 1, 1875, in London, England, who maintained a remarkable presence in early 20th-century fiction. Beginning his career as a war correspondent, Wallace went on to publish a torrent of novels, plays, and articles. He is best known for his detective and crime narratives, often featuring the iconic characters he created. 'The Day of Uniting' is one such novel that stands testament to the intricate plots and fast-paced storylines that became Wallace's signature. His literary style, characterized by rapid action and cleverly crafted suspense, gained him an expansive readership and solidified his reputation as the "King of Thrillers". Wallace's ability to produce work at an almost unprecedented speed—he is credited with authoring 175 novels, 24 plays, and countless articles—was both a boon to his livelihood and a distinctive feature of his tireless work ethic. His legacy extends beyond his own writing; Edgar Wallace is often associated with the story creation for the film 'King Kong' (1933), though he passed away during the initial stages of the project. On February 10, 1932, Wallace died suddenly from complications related to diabetes. His enduring influence on the thriller genre is still recognized, as his work became a standard by which suspense and crime fiction were measured. Wallace's novels persist as popular reads and are continually discovered by new generations of fans who appreciate the intrepid storytelling of one of the early twentieth century's most industrious writers.
