Autoren-Porträt von Gustave Aimard
Gustave Aimard was the nom de plume of Olivier Aimard, born in Paris on September 13, 1818. He was a French author specialized in adventure novels and is best known for his tales of Native American life and the frontiers of the American West. Aimard's life was itself an odyssey - beginning as an orphan he was adopted but later abandoned, leading him to a life filled with travel and adventure. After a stint in the French Navy, he went to America and lived with the Illinois tribe of Native Americans, gaining experiences that would heavily influence his literary work. Aimard returned to Paris in the late 1840s, and his writing career took off in the 1850s after the publication of his novel 'The Trapper's Daughter,' achieving wide recognition with his pursuit of authenticity and detailed descriptions of the wilderness. Among Aimard's extensive bibliography, 'The Freebooters' stands out as a book that epitomizes his literary style, fraught with themes of survival, rugged individualism, and a romanticized depiction of nature and indigenous cultures. Aimard's novels were based on the action-packed existence of frontiersmen and his own fascination with tales of the New World during a time when such narratives were hugely popular in Europe. Despite his successes, Aimard's final years were marked by penury and mental illness, and he died on June 20, 1883, in Paris. His contribution to the Western genre is still appreciated by enthusiasts of adventures and historical fiction.
