O autorze
Zane Grey, born as Pearl Zane Gray on January 31, 1872, in Zanesville, Ohio, was an illustrious American author best known for his popular adventure novels and narratives that presented an idealized image of the American frontier. Grey was the fourth of five children born to Alice 'Allie' Josephine Zane, whose ancestor Robert Zane came to America in 1673, and Lewis M. Gray, a dentist. He changed the spelling of his last name to 'Grey' after his first book 'Betty Zane' was published. Zane Grey attended the University of Pennsylvania on a baseball scholarship and studied dentistry, a career he soon abandoned for the thrill of writing. Grey's adventure tales epitomized the Western genre and attracted a vast readership with their vivid depictions of the rugged landscapes, their focus on the frontier's harsh and beautiful nature, and their tales of bravery and conflict. His most famous book, 'Riders of the Purple Sage' (1912), profoundly influenced the Western genre. 'The Border Legion' (1916), another notable work by Grey, was a considerable success, offering readers a combination of romance and adventure set against the tumultuous backdrop of the Old West. Fusing action and emotion, Zane Grey's writing style continues to be admired for its descriptive panoramas and sympathetic portrayals of American frontier life. He is credited with shaping the cultural mythos of the American West and remains an enduring figure in American literature. Grey died on October 23, 1939, in Altadena, California, but his stories have persisted, immortalizing him as a central figure in the Western literary canon.
