Autorenporträt
Edgar Wallace (1875-1932) was a prolific British author, best known for his crime novels, journalism, and screenwriting. Known as the 'King of Thrillers,' Wallace's life was as vibrant as his stories. He was born into poverty in Greenwich, London, and left school at the age of 12 to join the workforce. His wide array of occupations, from a war correspondent to a fish market porter, influenced his writing and provided a rich backdrop for his immersive storytelling. Wallace wrote with a feverish intensity, churning out hundreds of stories, plays, and articles, which culminated in a bibliography of immense proportions, including 'The Four Just Men,' 'Sanders of the River,' and 'The Secret House.' His writing style was characterized by fast-paced plots, captivating suspense, and an array of memorable characters, securing his reputation as a master of the thriller genre (Lane, 1938). His legacy includes over 170 novels, 18 stage plays, and numerous short story collections, a testament to his relentless creativity and passion for the written word. Wallace also laid the groundwork for modern crime fiction, influencing many subsequent writers. He co-created the character King Kong, being a co-author of the script for the eponymous 1933 film. Wallace's work continues to entertain readers around the world, and his contributions to literature and film are enduring. His integral writings are preserved in collections such as 'The Complete Works of Edgar Wallace,' ensuring that his literary influence resonates long after his passing (Clark, 1956).
