Autoren-Porträt von Louis Becke
Louis Becke, born George Lewis Becke in 1855, was an Australian writer whose narratives waxed eloquent about his adventures in the South Seas. His storytelling was shaped by the years he spent among the islands of the Pacific, experiences which granted authenticity and vibrancy to his works. Becke began his wandering life at the age of 18, which included a kaleidoscope of roles from a trader to a plantation manager, and later, a government official for the British. These experiences inculcated a thorough insight into the lives of islanders, both indigenous and expatriate, their cultures interweaving with colonial aspirations, which Becke eloquently illustrated through his prose ('Five-Head' Creek; and Fish Drugging in the Pacific'). His writing style often melded the stark realism associated with the hardships of island life with a lyrical romanticism. Becke's work was prolific and well-received, noted for his sympathetic characterizations and detailed depictions of the Pacific Islands culture and environment. Although Becke passed away in 1913, his literature remains a testimony to his adventurous spirit and the enduring allure of the Pacific Isles. His stories, while reflecting the norms and attitudes of his time, continue to serve as a historical document of a bygone era, and a representation of his literary style.
