Rex Beach

    Rex Beach, einst als „Victor Hugo des Nordens“ gefeiert, schrieb Abenteuerromane, die vor dem Hintergrund des Goldrausches in Alaska angesiedelt waren. Seine Werke, oft inspiriert von erlebter Korruption und den Kämpfen von Prospektoren, zeigten starke Männer, die heroische Taten vollbrachten. Obwohl einige Kritiker seine Erzählungen als formelhaft empfanden, fanden Beachs Geschichten über Härte und Entschlossenheit weite Resonanz und führten zu zahlreichen erfolgreichen Verfilmungen.
