Autorenporträt
Captain Mayne Reid, born Thomas Mayne Reid on April 4, 1818, in Ballyroney, County Down, Ireland, was a prolific 19th-century author known for his adventurous novels often set on the American frontier. Reid's work showcases his deep interest in nature and a flair for creating suspense through detailed narratives. Before committing himself to writing, Reid emigrated to the United States in 1839 and led a diversified life, including serving as a storekeeper, teacher, and even joining the US Army during the Mexican-American War, an experience that later influenced his writing. Reid began his literary career with contributions to periodicals before authoring his first novel. 'Osceola the Seminole; or, The Red Fawn of the Flower Land' is considered a standout work, highlighting Reid's characteristic exploration of the frontiers and his empathy towards the Native American experience during times of conflict. His narration often blended factual landscapes and events with fiction, a form of literary realism that predated later trends. Although not as well remembered as contemporaries like Mark Twain, Reid's novels were popular in their time and influenced the perceptions of American life around the world. Reid's literary style often included protagonists who were young men facing dangers and moral choices, which made his books particularly popular among young readers. He passed away on October 22, 1883, in London, leaving behind a legacy as a master storyteller of the American wild.
