Autoren-Porträt von Ernest Thompson Seton
Ernest Thompson Seton (1860-1946) was a pivotal figure in the development of American literature and the field of wildlife conservation. Born in South Shields, England, but raised in North America, Seton's work was heavily influenced by his extensive experience with the natural world from a young age. He became a renowned author, artist, and naturalist, best known for his realistic and empathetic portrayal of animals. 'Wild Animals I Have Known' (1898), one of his most celebrated works, comprises a series of engrossing tales that explore the lives of individual animals, blending scientific observation with engaging storytelling. This book, along with other notable works such as 'Lives of the Hunted' (1901) and 'Two Little Savages' (1903), helped establish Seton as a prominent figure in the nature study movement and as one of the founders of the Boy Scouts of America. His literary style is characterized by a combination of evocative illustrations, detailed descriptions, and a narrative that imbued animals with individual personalities without straying from the scientific truths of their behaviors. Seton's contribution to literature and environmental education has left an enduring legacy, one that continues to inspire reverence for wildlife and the outdoors.
