Autorenporträt
Frank Richard Stockton (April 5, 1834 – April 20, 1902) was a preeminent American writer and humorist, known for his allegorical and imaginative short stories that catered to both children and adults. His literary style often wove elements of fantasy with a satirical and sometimes absurdist tone, which garnered a distinctive place for him within the 19th-century literary panorama. Stockton was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and began his career as a wood engraver before transitioning to writing. His breakout came with the publication of 'The Lady, or the Tiger?' (1882), which presented readers a perplexing moral puzzle that remains ambiguous to this day. The narrative capacity of Stockton was further exhibited in 'The Dusantes' (1888), a whimsical continuation of 'The Casting Away of Mrs. Lecks and Mrs. Aleshine' (1886). Here, Stockton masterfully crafted a sequel that maintained his trademark blend of satire and intrigue. His stories often held a gentle critique of the society and norms of his times, wrapped in the facade of leisurely entertainment. Beyond his short stories, Stockton authored a number of novels, children's books, and essays, solidifying his legacy as a versatile and engaging storyteller whose works continue to entertain and provoke thought in equal measure. His contribution to American literature is recognized for capturing the complexities of human nature while enchanting the imagination with possibilities beyond the mundane world.
