Autoren-Porträt von Bret Harte
Bret Harte (1836-1902) was an American short story writer and poet, best known for his vivid depictions of the characters and lifestyles in the California Gold Rush. Often considered a pioneer in the development of the local color narrative, Harte's work championed both humor and pathos, capturing the paradoxes of frontier life.

His stories and poems were steeped in the dialects and scenery of the American West, earning him an esteemed place among the regionalist writers of his time. 'Two Men of Sandy Bar', a play later adapted into a novel, showcases Harte's talent for dialogue and his nuanced understanding of human relationships, underlined by a recurring fascination with themes of loyalty, betrayal, and redemption. Harte's literary style, characterized by a blend of romanticism and realism, satirical wit, and a keen observation of human nature, has been influential in shaping perceptions of Western American life. His work is an essential component of American literary heritage, offering insights and entertainment that continue to resonate with readers and scholars alike.
