About the author
Bret Harte
3,158 books63 followersPeople note American writer Francis Bret Harte for
The Luck of Roaring Camp and Other Sketches
(1870), his best-known collection of his stories about California mining towns.
People best remember this poet for his short-story fiction, featuring miners, gamblers, and other romantic figures of the Gold Rush. In a career, spanning more than four decades, he wrote poetry, plays, lectures, book reviews, editorials, and magazine sketches in addition to fiction. As he moved from California to the eastern United States to Europe, he incorporated new subjects and characters into his stories, but people most often reprinted, adapted, and admired his tales of the Gold Rush.
Parents named him after Francis Brett, his great-grandfather. Bernard Hart, paternal grandfather of Francis and an Orthodox Jewish immigrant, flourished as a merchant and founded the New York stock exchange. Henry, father of the young Francis, changed the spelling of the family name from Hart to Harte. Later, Francis preferred that people know his middle name, which he spelled Bret with only one t.
An avid reader as a boy, Harte at 11 years of age published his first work, a satirical poem, titled "Autumn Musings", now lost. Rather than attracting praise, the poem garnered ridicule from his family. As an adult, he recalled to a friend, "Such a shock was their ridicule to me that I wonder that I ever wrote another line of verse". His formal schooling ended at 13 years of age in 1849.

ما يميز القصة هو الطريقة التي يقلب بها هارت الصورة النمطية عن “الأخلاق” و”الفضيلة”—فالمنبوذون يظهرون شهامة وتعاطفًا أكثر من المجتمع الذي نبذهم. القصة تستكشف أيضًا مواضيع مثل القدر، العدالة القاسية، والطبيعة البشرية في لحظات الأزمات.
رغم كونها قصيرة، إلا أن القصة تحمل وزنًا عاطفيًا كبيرًا، والنهاية المأساوية تضيف لها تأثيرًا دراميًا قويًا. أسلوب هارت يجمع بين السخرية اللطيفة والواقعية الصارمة، مما يجعلها قراءة ممتعة لمحبي الأدب الغربي الأمريكي.
