Autorenporträt
Charles James Lever (1806-1872) was an Irish novelist and editor. He gained fame with his early novels "Harry Lorrequer" (1839) and "Charles O'Malley" (1841), which were noted for their adventurous plots and humorous style. Lever spent much of his life abroad, particularly in continental Europe, which influenced the settings and themes of his later works. His novels often reflect his Irish heritage and expatriate experiences, providing a unique perspective on the social and political issues of his time. Lever's works often drew on his experiences in Ireland and Europe, blending wit, humor, and a keen observation of social and political issues of his time. Some of his other notable works include "Charles O'Malley, the Irish Dragoon" (1841), "Tom Burke of Ours" (1844), and "The Daltons" (1852). His writing style is characterized by its energetic narrative and engaging, sometimes larger-than-life, characters. Lever spent much of his later life on the continent, particularly in Italy, where he continued to write and edit for various periodicals. Lever initially pursued a career in medicine but eventually turned to writing, finding success with his first major novel, "The Confessions of Harry Lorrequer" (1839), which was serialized and gained him widespread popularity.
