Autorenporträt
Sapper, the pen name for Herman Cyril McNeile, was an English writer born on September 28, 1888, in Bodmin, Cornwall. Though McNeile is best known for creating the fictional character Bulldog Drummond, which he featured in a series of detective novels, his body of work also includes other notable characters, including Jim Maitland. McNeile's 'Jim Maitland' is a collection of adventures featuring a globe-trotting protagonist who encounters a vast array of dangers and mysteries. Reflective of the interwar period, Sapper's literary style combines elements of adventure, intrigue, and suspense, often set against an international backdrop. Authored by a man who served as an officer in the Royal Engineers during World War I, Sapper's writings carry an authentic sense of action, reflecting the grit and fortitude of the era. McNeile's military experience greatly influenced his fast-paced and robust storytelling that gained him a substantial readership. He excelled in crafting tales that both entertained and embodied the stoic heroism of his time. Sapper passed away on August 14, 1937, but his works endure as examples of early 20th-century adventure and crime fiction. His books remain a testament to his ability to capture and maintain the imagination of readers well beyond his own generation.
