Rex Beach

    Rex Beach, přezdívaný „Viktorem Hugem Severu“, psal dobrodružné romány o Aljašce, které byly na počátku 20. století nesmírně populární. Jeho příběhy, často inspirované skutečnými událostmi z dob zlaté horečky, se soustředí na statečné muže čelící korupci a přírodním živlům. Beachův styl byl charakterizován jako „škola drsných chlapů“, kde silní muži páchají silné činy. Ačkoli jeho díla často vykazovala formule a předvídatelnost, mnoho z nich bylo úspěšně adaptováno do filmů.
