作者简介

Edward Phillips Oppenheim, an English novelist, was a prolific author of thriller and espionage tales, who enjoyed great popularity during the early 20th century. Born on October 22, 1866, in London, Oppenheim published over 100 novels throughout his career, becoming known as the 'Prince of Storytellers'. His knack for writing was evident from an early age, and although initially involved in his family's leather business, he soon turned to professional writing. His debut novel 'Expiation' (1887) marked the beginning of his full-time literary career, but it was works such as 'The Mystery of Mr. Bernard Brown' (1898) and 'The Man and His Kingdom' (1899) that established his reputation. 'Nobody's Man' (1915) further exemplifies Oppenheim's literary style, combining elements of suspense, romance, and political intrigue, reflecting the tumultuous backdrop of World War I. His literary contributions spanned various genres, although he is primarily celebrated for transforming the spy novel. Oppenheim's influence extended to inspiring future writers in the espionage and thriller genres, and his books have been adapted for cinema and television. He passed away on February 3, 1946, leaving behind a rich legacy of gripping tales that continued to entertain generations. His enduring popularity is a testament to his skill in crafting narratives that both reflect and transcend the times in which he lived.
