Autorenporträt
Harold Bindloss (1866–1945) was a prolific British author, renowned for his many novels primarily focusing on tales of adventure in Western Canada during the early 20th century. His works often combine elements of romance with the rugged backdrop of the Canadian frontier, and they are known for their vivid descriptions and authentic portrayal of life in the wilderness. 'The Greater Power' is a fine example of Bindloss's skill in crafting engrossing narratives that capture the spirit of the times and place in which his characters find themselves. Born in Liverpool, England, Bindloss spent a significant amount of time in Canada, where he gathered much of the firsthand experience that would lend such credibility to his stories. After losing his ranch in British Columbia, Bindloss returned to England and began his writing career, which spanned over 30 years and produced more than 30 novels. His literary style reflects the popular tastes of his time, with clear-cut heroes and villains, and storylines that embraced the challenges and triumphs of colonists and settlers. Despite not being as well-remembered today, Bindloss was a contemporary of authors like Zane Grey and Louis L'Amour, and his contributions to the genre of frontier and adventure fiction are noteworthy for their historical and cultural value within the broader scope of English literature.
