Autorenporträt
Joseph Hocking (1860–1937) was a British novelist and United Methodist Free Church minister, originating from Cornwall. Renowned for his literary contributions that reflected a strong evangelical Christian stance, his works often explored themes of faith amidst trials and the moral struggles of his characters. In his lifetime, he authored more than 100 books, embracing genres from romance to adventure, and his writing style was characterized by a melding of suspense with spiritual reflection. Amongst his notable works, 'Tommy' stands out as a representation of his narrative skills and theological concerns. This particular book, like many of his others, offers insights into the challenges of maintaining one's beliefs in the face of societal pressures and personal tribulations. Hocking's works primarily reached an audience seeking both entertainment and moral instruction, and although his popularity peaked during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, his novels continue to be read by those interested in religious fiction and the ethical issues of his time. Hocking's legacy endures through his compelling storytelling that still resonates with readers who appreciate the timeless struggle between right and wrong.
