Rreth këtij libri elektronik
Excerpt: "There may be folk in the world to whom the finding of a dead man, lying grim and stark by the roadside, with the blood freshly run from it and making ugly patches of crimson on the grass and the gravel, would be an ordinary thing; but to me that had never seen blood let in violence, except in such matters as a bout of fisticuffs at school, it was the biggest thing that had ever happened, and I stood staring down at the white face as if I should never look at anything else as long as I lived. I remember all about that scene and that moment as freshly now as if the affair had happened last night. The dead man lying in the crushed grass--his arms thrown out helplessly on either side of him..."
Rreth autorit
J. S. Fletcher, born Joseph Smith Fletcher on February 7, 1863, in Halifax, West Yorkshire, was a prolific British author whose literary career spanned several genres, including historical fiction, poetry, and journalism. Fletcher's early life was marked by tragedy; he was orphaned at the age of eight and subsequently raised by his grandmother. This challenging upbringing perhaps fueled his later prolific output and keen observational skills.Fletcher initially pursued a career in law but soon turned to writing, producing over 200 books throughout his lifetime. He is best known for his detective fiction, particularly the novel "The Middle Temple Murder" (1919), which garnered significant acclaim and established him as a master of the genre. His work in crime fiction was characterized by intricate plots, well-developed characters, and a deep understanding of the human psyche, which influenced contemporary writers such as Agatha Christie and Dorothy L. Sayers.A notable controversy in Fletcher's career involved his outspoken criticism of the British legal system, which he often depicted as flawed and corrupt in his novels. This critique resonated with readers and added a layer of social commentary to his work, making him a somewhat revolutionary figure in the literary world.Fletcher's influence extended beyond his lifetime, as his meticulous approach to plotting and character development set a standard for future generations of mystery writers. His ability to weave historical context into his narratives also provided a rich tapestry that continues to captivate modern readers. J. S. Fletcher passed away on January 30, 1935, leaving behind a legacy that endures in the annals of British literature.
