Giới thiệu tác giả
Guy Newell Boothby (1867 – 1905) was a prolific Australian novelist and writer, best known for his thrilling tales packed with adventure and the supernatural. His career blossomed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and he quickly gained recognition in the realm of popular fiction. Amongst his numerous works, 'Pharos, The Egyptian' stands out as a memorable example of his grasp of the gothic horror genre, where he intertwines elements of romance, mysticism, and a captivating narrative of mummies and curses. Boothby's writing style often gravitated towards the grandiose and dramatic, and he was adept at crafting compelling storylines that engaged readers from the first page to the last. His literature, while appealing to the sensational tastes of his time, also reflects his ability to create vivid characters and complex plots. Boothby was a contemporary of writers like H.G. Wells and Rudyard Kipling, and his works contributed to the tapestry of early speculative fiction, a precursor to the contemporary genres of fantasy and science fiction. His influence, while not as pronounced as some of his contemporaries, remains noteworthy for its unique blend of the fantastical and the adventurous in the annals of English literature.
