Autorenporträt
Ernest Bramah, born Ernest Bramah Smith in 1868 in Manchester, England, was an esteemed English author esteemed for his prolific and versatile literary contributions. He famously created the character Kai Lung, an itinerant storyteller whose adventures are showcased in a series of books acclaimed for their unique blend of fantasy and humor. His pen name, 'Bramah,' derived from the inventor of the safety lock, reflected his innovative spirit. Despite losing sight in one eye following an accident, Bramah's literary vision remained clear. He ventured into multiple genres, including science fiction, where 'The Secret of the League' stands out as a notable dystopian work, echoing influences of socialism. Bramah's creation, the blind detective Max Carrados, featured in 'The Specimen Case', marks a significant contribution to the detective genre, evidencing his ability to weave intricate plots with a touch of wry wit. His works display a delightful interplay of satire and speculative fiction, resonating with Edwardian readers and beyond. 'The Wallet of Kai Lung' and 'Kai Lung Unrolls His Mat' remain exotic staples of fantastical literature, exhibiting his knack for crafting pseudo-oriental prose that transported readers. Despite not achieving widespread fame during his lifetime, Bramah's legacy endures through the ongoing appreciation of literary connoisseurs. He passed away in 1942, leaving behind a cache of witty, timeless prose for future generations to discover (Bramah, E., 1900-1940).
