Autorenporträt
F. Anstey was the pseudonym of Thomas Anstey Guthrie, a prolific English author and journalist, born on August 8, 1856, and passing away on March 10, 1934. He is best known for his humorous and satirical works, which gained immense popularity during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Anstey's writing career began with humorous sketches and articles for various magazines and newspapers. He eventually found success with his first novel, "Vice Versa" (1882), a fantastical tale of a father and son magically switching bodies, which garnered wide acclaim and established him as a prominent author of the "fantasy of manners" genre. "The Brass Bottle" (1900) is another of his renowned works, displaying Anstey's flair for blending fantasy elements with humorous situations and social satire. With clever wordplay and witty storytelling, he entertained readers while exploring human nature's quirks and follies. Apart from his novels, Anstey also wrote numerous plays, short stories, and essays. His works often reflected the Victorian and Edwardian society's foibles and absurdities, providing insightful commentary in a lighthearted manner. His legacy as an influential humorist endures, making his writings timeless sources of joy and amusement for generations of readers.
