Autorenporträt

Ernest Bramah (1868-1942) created a sleuth whose popularity rivalled that of Sherlock Holmes: Max Carrados, a blind detective who solves crimes thanks to his extraordinary skills at reading things with his fingers and paying attention to the sounds that other people overlook. Bramah was an extremely private man, who abandoned a career in farming to become a local newspaper correspondent. He moved to London as secretary to the humorist Jerome K. Jerome and did editorial work on several magazines before turning to writing as a full-time occupation, also creating a hugely successful series of books about the itinerant rogue, Kai Lung, set in the lush atmosphere of China and praised by the novelist Hilaire Belloc.

Rezensionen

'The Bravo of London is a little too good to be true, but what does that matter in a tale so stirring and so instinct with literary quality? Upon new and old readers alike, Mr Bramah's style will exercise its usual irresistible charm.' Dorothy L. Sayers, The Sunday Times

'The only detective stories since Poe that are worth re-reading' George Orwell

'There's something very alluring about the character of Max Carrados and the nature of a blind detective ... We love detectives, whether a little old lady knitting like Miss Marple, or an egg-headed Belgian, or the great Sherlock Holmes, or the blind Max Carrados - they help us feel that life is going to be OK.' Stephen Fry
