Sobre o autor
Richard Harding Davis (1864–1916) was a celebrated American journalist, war correspondent, and author, whose adventurous life often mirrored the bold characters in his narratives. Born into a literary family, with his mother Rebecca Harding Davis being a prominent writer, Richard was predestined for a career in writing. He attended Lehigh University and later Johns Hopkins University but found his true calling in journalism. Davis worked for several newspapers, eventually becoming a managing editor at Harper's Weekly. His firsthand experience reporting from conflict zones, including the Spanish-American War and World War I, imbued his works with authenticity and vigor. Best known for his romantic adventure stories, Davis authored novels such as 'Soldiers of Fortune' and 'Captain Macklin: His Memoirs' (1899), which showcase his brisk narrative style and keen eye for character development. 'Captain Macklin' is considered one of his notable works of fiction, revealing Davis's gift for crafting spirited tales about youthful protagonists in exotic locales, a reflection of America's imperialistic zeitgeist at the turn of the 20th century. Davis's writings played a pivotal role in shaping the early American literary narrative and he remains a significant figure for his contributions to the development of literary journalism.
