Biography Hector Hugh Munro

Saki (1870-1916) este pseudonimul lui Hector Hugh Munro

Scotianul Hector Hugh Munro si-a publicat articolele si povestirile sub pseudonimul Saki, inspirat poate de paharnicul lui Omar Kayyam. Considerat un maestru al prozei scurte, deseori comparat cu O. Henri si Dorothy Parker, Saki a fost un critic al epocii eduardiene , de cele mai multe ori intr-un stil macabru si crud.

A fost crescut de matusile lui, care nu de multe ori au folosit si metode mai dure de a-l educa; sursa de inspiratie pentru personajele lui de mai tarziu.. A fost politist, jurnalist la Westminster Gazette, Daily Express, Bystander, Morning Post si Outlook, corespondent al ziarului Morning Post in Balcani iar, la izbucnirea primului razboi mondial, s-a inrolat in armata cu toate ca depasise varsta. Desi de multe ori ranit si inapt sa lupte s-a incapatanat sa ramana pe front unde a si murit impuscat. Se spune ca ultimele lui cuvinte au fost : \"Put that damned cigarette out!\" Dupa moartea lui, sora sa i-a distrus cele mai multe manuscrise si a scris ea propria varianta a memoriilor din copilarie.



Personajele lui Saki duc mai departe mostenirea lasata de Oscar Wilde, intre ele au loc necontenite schimburi de vorbe de spirit si absurditati, care nu inceteaza sa uluiasca si sa farmece, dar in spatele carora se simte prezenta unui spirit mai dur si mai putin complezent decat Wilde.

Opera lui Saki este acum de domeniu public si se poate gasi la www.gutenberg.net
