Autorenporträt
Sir Francis Bond Head, an English author and colonial administrator, had a multifarious career, which spanned from engineering to politics, and finally literature. Best known for his work 'The Life and Adventures of Bruce, the African Traveller,' Sir Head delved into the intriguing narrative of James Bruce, the renowned Scottish explorer of the Nile. Born in 1793, Head's own life was one of adventure. Before he turned to writing, he served as an officer in the Engineer Corps, a background that lent a sense of structural detail to his prose. After a mixed tenure as Lieutenant Governor of Upper Canada during the tumultuous times of rebellion, Head settled into writing, focusing on biographies and works that examined social and political issues through the lens of individual experience. His literary style, characterized by detailed observation and a narrative driven by character, brought the exploits of explorers like Bruce to a fascinated Victorian audience. While 'The Life and Adventures of Bruce' may not be his most famous work, it is a testament to Head's capacity to capture the essence of exploration and the spirit of the era he lived in. The book adds a personal dimension to exploration literature, inviting readers to see through the eyes of men who ventured into the unknown.
