Sobre l'autor
Robert William Chambers (1865–1933) was an American artist and writer. Born in Brooklyn, New York, he pursued his artistic talents at the Art Students League of New York, and then continued his education in Paris at the École des Beaux-Arts and the Académie Julian. Initially, Chambers established himself as an illustrator, but he soon turned his focus to writing. He became famous for his collection of short stories titled 'The King in Yellow' published in 1895, which heavily influenced later horror and supernatural fiction, leaving a lasting impact on the genre and writers such as H.P. Lovecraft. His work is characterized by a blend of fantasy, horror, and romance, with an adept ability to transition from otherworldly narratives to more conventional historical romances and adventure novels. A prolific author, Chambers wrote over 70 books. 'Special Messenger' (1909) is one of Chambers' works that deviates from his fantastical style, instead offering readers a glimpse into the world of espionage and intrigue set against the backdrop of the American Civil War. Chambers' narrative flexibility and his ability to capture the zeitgeist of the early 20th-century Americana stand as a testament to his literary acumen and versatility. His influence on the speculative fiction genre endures well beyond his lifetime.
