Autorenporträt
Frank Thomas Bullen (1857-1915) was a British author and novelist, best known for his seafaring tales based on his own experiences at sea. Bullen's literary career was kickstarted with his most famous work, 'The Cruise of the "Cachalot" Round the World After Sperm Whales' (1898), which vividly recounts the arduous and adventurous life aboard a whaling ship. This book was particularly acclaimed for its authenticity and detailed descriptions of the whaling industry, life at sea, and the many cultures Bullen encountered during his voyages. The 'Cachalot' was one of the first books to portray the hard life of seamen with such fidelity, drawing comparisons to the work of Melville. Bullen's narrative is imbued with the literary style of realism, woven with elements of naturalism, which provides readers with a starkly genuine portrayal of the late 19th-century whaling expeditions. His ability to infuse his maritime adventures with human drama and naturalistic details reflects his substantial firsthand experience as a sailor and contributes to the enduring relevance of his literary contributions. Scholarly interest in Bullen's work often centers on his insights into maritime history and his contribution to the genre of nautical fiction. He has been praised for his lucid and engaging prose, which continues to captivate those interested in maritime literature and the age of sail.
