著者について
John Buchan (1875–1940) was a prolific Scottish novelist, historian, and politician, remembered for his adventure fiction and his deep engagement with Scottish identity and the landscape. His literary career spanned a variety of genres, including thrillers, historical novels, and biographies. Born in Perth, Scotland, Buchan was educated at the University of Glasgow and Brasenose College, Oxford. He embarked on a life of public service, which culminated in serving as the Governor General of Canada from 1935 until his death. Among Buchan's most celebrated works is 'The Thirty-Nine Steps' (1915), a defining novel for espionage thrillers. However, his work 'John Macnab' (1925) stands out for its marked divergence from his usual espionage narratives. 'John Macnab' explores themes of Scottish identity and culture, combining elements of humor with adventure. This tale of three bored gentlemen who turn to poaching in the Scottish Highlands for excitement is considered a classic in the sporting genre and reflects Buchan's characteristic reverence for the Scottish landscape. With over 100 books to his name, Buchan's writing is characterized by well-crafted plots, vivid descriptions of the Scottish countryside, and a flair for suspense. His contribution to literature has been acknowledged through various adaptations of his work in film and television, ensuring Buchan's continued presence in the realm of literary appreciation.
