Autorenporträt
George Alfred Henty (1832-1902) was a prolific English novelist and war correspondent renowned for his adventure stories that predominantly captivated the young readers of his era. Born in Trumpington, near Cambridge, Henty cultivated a spirited devotion to storytelling after experiencing various cultures and historical settings through his time as a correspondent. His foray into literature was galvanized after his tales, recounted to his children, gained popularity, leading to an expansive bibliography that includes over 70 books. 'The Young Carthaginian,' a historical novel that highlights the adventures of a young Hannibal during the Punic Wars, exemplifies Henty's adroitness in blending educational value with thrilling narrative. His works are characterized by their meticulous historical detail, spirited heroism, and an unwavering moral compass, qualities that made him an endeared figure in Victorian juvenile literature. Henty's influence continued into the 20th century, as his books nurtured the imaginations of young minds and inspired a passion for history. While his depiction of colonial attitudes has met with contemporary critique, his contributions to children's literature endure in historical commentary and literary studies (Manley & Cox, 1997).
