Autoren-Porträt von Lew Wallace
Lew Wallace, born on April 10, 1827, in Brookville, Indiana, was a multifaceted figure known for his work as an author, lawyer, and diplomat, as well as serving as a Union general during the American Civil War. Wallace's literary journey is best characterized by his historical novels that combine vigorous storytelling with a dramatic flair for recreating historical epochs. His magnum opus, 'Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ' (1880), overshadowed his other works, becoming one of the best-selling novels of the 19th century, praised for its vivid description and emotional depth. Besides 'Ben-Hur', his notable works include 'The Fair God' (1873), which portrays the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire, and 'The Prince of India; or, Why Constantinople Fell' (1893), which explores the fall of Byzantium. Wallace's narrative technique often employs rich historical detail, intertwining fictional characters with historical figures, which was innovative for his time and contributed significantly to the genre of historical fiction. He passed away on February 15, 1905, but his legacy continues, and his works, especially 'Ben-Hur', continue to be read and adapted into other media, securing his place in the annals of American literature.
