Robert Barr

    Robert Barr byl britsko-kanadský autor, známý svými povídkami a romány, které často prozkoumávaly témata zločinu a záhad. Jeho styl se vyznačoval bystrým pozorováním a humorným nádechem, což bylo patrné i v jeho parodiích na populární detektivní příběhy. Barr se nebál experimentovat s různými formami vyprávění, včetně satiry, aby komentoval společenské trendy své doby. Čtenáři si ho oblíbili pro jeho schopnost zaujmout poutavými zápletkami a živým jazykem.
