The Intriguers (ePub)

Harold Bindloss (1866-1945) was an English novelist known for his prolific writing and attention to the details of colonial and frontier life. Born in Liverpool, Bindloss initially pursued a career in civil engineering before relocating to Canada, where he managed a farm and absorbed the textures of the landscapes and experiences that would later populate his novels. Driven by health concerns and an inherent love for storytelling, Bindloss began writing, focusing on tales of adventure and the outdoors that resonated with the experiences of settlers and explorers of the early 20th century. 'The Intriguers', one of Bindloss's numerous novels, exemplifies his literary style: a combination of romance, rugged realism, and a clear understanding of human nature and the challenges of life in untamed settings. With its publication, Bindloss cemented his position as a transatlantic literary figure, bridging the experiences of the Old World and the emerging narratives of the New World. His work often explored themes of integrity, perseverance, and the moral challenges faced by individuals on the frontiers of civilization. Throughout his career, Bindloss authored over 30 novels and various shorter works, leaving a legacy that enriched the literary tapestry of his time with tales of adventure and human endeavor.
