Giới thiệu tác giả
James Oliver Curwood (June 12, 1878 – August 13, 1927) was an American action-adventure writer and conservationist whose literary career flourished in the early 20th century. Born in Owosso, Michigan, Curwood's love for the outdoors and the wilderness was highly reflective in his novels. His narratives, often set in the Canadian North, displayed a distinctive romanticized reverence for nature and wildlife, mirroring the ideals of the American conservation movement (Nassaney, 1999). One of his novels, 'The Ancient Highway' (1925), exemplifies this passion, as it presents a vivid portrayal of the Canadian wilderness while intertwining elements of history and adventure, representative of Curwood's signature blending of realistic adventure with romanticism. Curwood's writing style often involved the use of melodramatic and picturesque descriptions that immersed the reader in his scenic settings and thrilling plotlines. Much of his work was adapted into films during the silent and early talkie eras of cinema, which extended his influence beyond the realms of literature. Sadly, his life was cut short at the age of 49 due to blood poisoning. Curwood's legacy, however, survived through his extensive bibliography and the establishment of the Curwood Castle museum in his hometown, which celebrates his life and work. It is clear that through his writing, Curwood not only sought to entertain readers but also to instill respect for nature and its untamed beauty (Lutz, 2001).
