Autorenporträt
Laurence Oliphant was born on August 3, 1829, in Cape Town, South Africa, to Anthony Oliphant and Maria Campbell. He spent his early years moving frequently due to his father's legal appointments, including time in Ceylon and various parts of Europe. Educated in Britain, he developed early interests in law and politics, but his restless nature led him to explore diverse paths. As a young man, he traveled widely across Asia, the Middle East, and North America, experiences that inspired many of his later writings. He was elected as a Member of Parliament and also served in diplomatic and intelligence roles for the British government. Alongside his public career, he cultivated deep religious and mystical interests, eventually aligning himself with Christian mysticism and supporting early Zionist ideas. His marriage to Alice Le Strange Oliphant ended with her death in 1886, and he later married Rosamond Dale Owen in 1888, shortly before his own death that same year. Oliphant gained literary fame during his lifetime for his satirical novel "Piccadilly," and his work often reflected his critiques of social norms, spiritual searching, and international experiences. He died on December 23, 1888, in Twickenham, United Kingdom.
