Autorenporträt

Stacy Aumonier was a British writer and actor who lived from March 31, 1877, to December 21, 1928. He is best known for his short stories. Between 1913 and 1928, he wrote more than 85 short stories, 6 novels, a book of character studies, and a book of 15 articles. John Galsworthy, who won the Nobel Prize and wrote the Forsyte Saga, called Aumonier "one of the best short-story writers of all time" and said that the best of his stories would help him "outlive all the writers of his day." James Hilton, who wrote "Goodbye, Mr. Chips" and "Lost Horizon," said this about Aumonier: "I think his best stories should be in any collection of the best short stories ever written." James Hilton was asked to pick "My Favorite Short Story" for the March 1939 issue of Good Housekeeping. He picked "The Octave of Jealousy" by Aumonier, which the magazine called a "bitterly brilliant story."
