The Story of Ab: A Tale of the Time of the Cave Man

Beschreibung

Stanley Waterloo was a writer of many types of media, both fiction and non-fiction, and of books, essays and newspaper articles. Born in 1846, he showed a great deal of promise. He was to attend West Point, but due to an injury, Waterloo did not. He instead went into journalism after law school did not work out for him. His career in the news was quite successful, as Waterloo worked at numerous news outlets in the midwest, including the St. Louis Chronicle, the Chicago Tribune, and the Missouri Republican. He briefly started his own paper, The Day, in St. Paul, but returned to Chicago. Towards Waterloo's middle age, he moved into writing literature. He became extremely successful, particularly in England, with his novel, A Man and A Woman, which was released in 1892. This particular work, The Story of Ab, follows that of a caveman living in the Stone Age. Waterloo released several more novels, until his last one, A Son of the Ages, was released posthumously in 1914. A year before its release, Waterloo died of pneumonia. This new edition is dedicated to Timothy Knab, longtime student of cultures.

Autor

Stanley Waterloo (1846-1913) was an American author and journalist whose work engaged readers with a blend of historical narrative and adventure. Born in a period marked by civil strife and transformative societal changes, Waterloo found a unique niche in the literary world, building bridges to forgotten epochs through his storytelling. One of his most notable novels is 'The Story of Ab: A Tale of the Time of the Cave Man' (1897), which weaves a vivid tale of prehistoric life, bringing to life the experiences of Ab, a young cave man navigating the challenges of his era. Regarded as an early piece of speculative fiction, the novel reflects Waterloo's creative ingenuity and interest in evolutionary theory and anthropology, a burgeoning field during his time. Though not widely recognized among the literary giants of his era, Waterloo's work has attracted scholarly attention for its role in the development of early science fiction and historical narrative forms. His contributions to literature extend beyond purely entertaining stories; they offer a window into the cultural and intellectual curiosities of the late 19th century. Waterloo's style typically showcased his capacity for extensive research, imaginative detail, and an earnest conveyance of human emotion and struggle.
