O ovoj e-knjizi

Very nice read. Ballantyne does a great job of painting a realistic, gritty picture of Africa, and of safari hunting from in the old days. (Goodreads)

O autoru

R. M. Ballantyne, born Robert Michael Ballantyne on April 24, 1825, in Edinburgh, Scotland, was a prolific 19th-century author whose adventure novels captivated young readers and left an indelible mark on the genre. The son of a printer, Ballantyne was thrust into the world of literature from an early age. His adventurous spirit was kindled by his own experiences working for the Hudson's Bay Company in Canada, where he spent five formative years amidst the rugged wilderness.Ballantyne's firsthand encounters with the untamed landscapes and diverse cultures of North America infused his writing with authenticity and excitement. His vivid descriptions and dynamic storytelling set a new standard for adventure literature, inspiring future giants like Robert Louis Stevenson and Arthur Ransome. His works often featured young protagonists who embodied courage, resourcefulness, and moral integrity, themes that resonated deeply with Victorian values and continue to appeal to modern sensibilities.Controversy occasionally shadowed Ballantyne's career, particularly regarding his portrayal of indigenous peoples and colonial settings. While his depictions reflected the prevailing attitudes of his time, they have since sparked critical discussions on representation and cultural sensitivity.Beyond his literary contributions, Ballantyne was a pioneer in advocating for realistic and educational children's literature. He believed that young readers deserved stories that were both entertaining and instructive, a revolutionary idea that helped shape the future of juvenile fiction.R. M. Ballantyne passed away on February 8, 1894, but his legacy endures, his tales of adventure continuing to ignite the imaginations of readers around the world.
