Autorenporträt
Morgan Robertson (1861-1915) was an American author of short stories and novels, highly regarded for his gripping tales of the sea. Drawing on his real-world experience-first as a cabin boy and later a seaman-Robertson infused his narratives with authenticity and a profound understanding of human nature. His maritime background served as an inspirational bedrock for his literary works, which often explored the perils and unpredictability of the ocean. Perhaps best known for his short story collection 'Where Angels Fear to Tread' and Other Stories of the Sea, Robertson showcased his knack for portraying psychological conflict and the elemental struggle between man and nature within the confines of nautical themes. His oeuvre evidences a deep fascination with technology and an uncanny ability to presage future events, the most notable being the eerie foretelling of the Titanic disaster in his novella 'Futility, or the Wreck of the Titan,' published fourteen years before the actual event. Robertson's literary style is characterized by a crisp, clear prose that captures the often unforgiving life at sea. Though his works might be less widely known today, his contributions to sea literature have immortalized him as a significant, if not prophetic, figure in the annals of 20th-century American literature.
