À propos de l'auteur
Edward Phillips Oppenheim (1866-1946), an accomplished British novelist, was prolific in crafting espionage and thriller novels during the late 19th and first half of the 20th century. Known as the 'prince of storytellers,' Oppenheim's literary career spawned over 100 novels and short story collections, significantly influencing the spy fiction genre. In works such as 'The Vanished Messenger' (1914), Oppenheim artfully wove narratives of intrigue and adventure, resonating with the emotional and political climate of the pre- and post-World War I era. His writing style often featured upper-class characters embroiled in conspiracies and romantic escapades, a formula that captured the imaginations of readers seeking escapism from the uncertainty of the times. The fusion of suspense and luxury became a hallmark of Oppenheim's novels, setting a precedent for future writers in the spy and mystery genres. Although his literary output declined in scholarly attention following his death, Oppenheim's contributions to genre fiction remain a subject of academic interest, particularly in the realms of early 20th-century pop culture and espionage literature.
