Autorentext

Zane Grey (1872-1939) war ein amerikanischer Schriftsteller, der vor allem durch seine Wildwestromane bekannt wurde. Die Romane zeigen Greys Liebe für die Landschaften und die Menschen des Westens, sie bieten oft eine romantische Liebesgeschichte und sind bei weitem nicht so aktionsbetont wie moderne Westernromane. Grey präsentierte den Städtern des amerikanischen Ostens den Westen und seine Ehr- und Moralbegriffe oft als positives Gegenbild .
