Autorenporträt
Herman Cyril McNeile, better known by his pen name 'Sapper', was an English author and playwright celebrated for his series of adventure books featuring the fictional character Bulldog Drummond. McNeile's literary career was as explosive as his years in the military service during World War I, where he served with distinction and incorporated many of his battlefield experiences into his novels. Born on September 28, 1888, in Bodmin, Cornwall, McNeile attended the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich before joining the Royal Engineers. His foray into authorship began with contributions to the Daily Mail and other publications, often under his pseudonym to avoid conflicts with military regulations. Outputting a plethora of novels and plays, H. C. McNeile achieved significant success during the interwar period. His style is known for its brisk pacing, patriotic themes, and rugged heroism, encapsulated in works such as 'Bulldog Drummond' (1920) and 'The Black Gang' (1922). His compilation, 'The Complete Works of H. C. McNeile (Sapper)', offers a comprehensive look into the prolific output of one of the early twentieth century's most entertaining action and thriller writers. McNeile's contributions to the action genre set a precedent for the heroes of modern-day thrillers. He continued to write until his passing on August 14, 1937, leaving behind a legacy characterized by valor both on the field and in fiction.
