Autorenporträt
Louis Tracy (1863-1928) was a British journalist and prolific writer known for his adventurous novels and detective fiction that captured the imagination of early twentieth-century readers. Born in Liverpool, England, Tracy spent his formulary years in a world rapidly changing through industrialization and the British Empire's expansion. He began his writing career as a journalist but soon found his niche in literature, penning stories steeped with intrigue, action, and mystery. His literary style often combined elements of romance, crime, and the imperialist spirit, which was reflective of the era's sentiment. Among his broad repertoire, 'The House 'Round the Corner' stands as a testament to Tracy's ability to weave complex narratives that challenge and entertain the reader. The book is part of Tracy's extensive body of work, which includes notable titles such as 'The Wings of the Morning' and the detective series featuring his famous creation, Inspector Lipinski. Although Tracy's name is not as well-remembered as some of his contemporaries like Arthur Conan Doyle or Agatha Christie, his contributions to the genre of mystery and adventure have not gone unnoticed. Tracy's novels are often characterized by swift-paced plots, vivid descriptions, and the valorization of the quintessentially British 'stiff upper lip.' His works remain a fascinating record of Victorian and Edwardian literary culture, appreciated by scholars and enthusiasts of the period's fiction.
