Excerpt: "These five plays were written, in the order in which they appear now, during the years 1916 and 1917. They would hardly have been written had it not been for the war, although only one of them is concerned with that subject. To his other responsibilities the Kaiser now adds this volume. For these plays were not the work of a professional writer, but the recreation of a (temporary) professional soldier. Play-writing is a luxury to a journalist, as insidious as golf and much more expensive in time and money. When an article is written, the financial reward (and we may as well live as not) is a matter of certainty. A novelist, too, even if he is not in "the front rank"—but I never heard of one who wasn't—can at least be sure of publication. But when a play is written, there is no certainty of anything save disillusionment."
Giới thiệu tác giả
Alan Alexander Milne, better known as A. A. Milne, was born on January 18, 1882, in London, England. A prolific writer, Milne's literary career spanned various genres, including plays, novels, and essays, but he is most famously remembered for creating the beloved children's character Winnie-the-Pooh. Before his foray into children's literature, Milne was an accomplished playwright and a contributor to the satirical magazine Punch, where his wit and humor shone brightly.Milne's work was deeply influenced by his experiences in World War I, where he served as an officer. The horrors of war left a lasting impact on him, leading to his later advocacy for pacifism. This stance was controversial at the time, especially during the interwar period when tensions in Europe were escalating.Milne's creation of the Hundred Acre Wood and its inhabitants was inspired by his own son, Christopher Robin Milne, and his collection of stuffed animals. These stories, while seemingly simple, are imbued with profound themes of friendship, innocence, and the passage of time, resonating with readers of all ages.Despite his success, Milne's relationship with his son became strained, partly due to the overwhelming fame of the Pooh stories overshadowing his other literary achievements. This complex father-son dynamic has intrigued biographers and readers alike, adding a layer of poignancy to Milne's legacy.Milne's influence extends beyond children's literature; his sharp wit and narrative style have inspired contemporary writers and continue to captivate audiences worldwide. His ability to blend whimsy with deeper philosophical questions ensures that his work remains timeless, appealing to both young readers and adults seeking solace in the simple yet profound tales of the Hundred Acre Wood.
