Produktbeschreibung

"There was a fortune in sight. For gold, men forget the obligations of life and law in civilization; they revert to savage type, and their minds and actions are swayed by the primitive urge of lust. Treachery, selfishness, cruelty and crime breed from the shining particles even before they are in actual sight and touch. Rainey knew that. He had read many true yarns that had come down from the frozen North, in from the deserts and the mountains, tales of the mining records of the West." J. Allan Dunn (1872-1941) was one of the high-producing writers of the American pulp fiction. He first made a name for himself in pulp magazine Adventure. He was a specialist in South Sea stories, and pirate tales. His main genres were adventure and western, but he also wrote a number of detective stories.

Autorenporträt

J. Allan Dunn (1872-1941) stands as a prolific figure in early 20th-century American literature, particularly known for his adventure stories and pulp fiction contributions. His narratives often transported readers to exotic locales with tales of swashbuckling and pioneering spirit, encapsulated aptly in works such as 'A Man to His Mate' (1920). Dunn's flair for vivid imagery and dynamic characterizations enabled him to carve a niche within the genre of adventure fiction, balancing the line between romantic escapism and the thrills of the unknown. Born in England but having moved to the United States as a young man, Dunn's literary career flourished as he became a regular contributor to popular pulp periodicals of the time, such as 'The Argosy' and 'Adventure Magazine'. His unique literary style melded the unpredictability of the natural world with the enduring human pursuit of adventure and companionship, elements that align harmoniously in 'A Man to His Mate', where the primal struggle and the power of unity among men at sea serve as central themes. While his name may not echo as loudly in the halls of literature as some of his contemporaries, Dunn's extensive body of work across multiple genres-ranging from Westerns to science fiction-has provided a lasting legacy. Scholars and enthusiasts of early American pulp fiction continue to recognize Dunn's integral role in shaping the adventure narrative form, an influence that persists in modern iterations of the genre.
