Noe l. Barber

    9 september 1909 – 10 juli 1988

    Noel Barber was een Britse romanschrijver en journalist wiens exotische romances en historische werken geworteld zijn in zijn ervaringen als vooraanstaand buitenlands correspondent. Zijn verslaggeving vanuit Marokko, waar hij vijf keer werd neergestoken, en vanuit Hongarije, waar hij een schotwond aan het hoofd overleefde tijdens de revolutie, hebben zijn unieke literaire stijl gevormd. Barber wist meesterlijk spannende verhalen te combineren met een diepgaand begrip van complexe geopolitieke situaties. Zijn geschriften bieden lezers een boeiende kijk op de wereld door de ogen van een man die persoonlijk de gevaren en wonderen ervan had meegemaakt.
