R.M. Ballantyne(1825-1894)은 스코틀랜드의 예술가이자 대부분 어린이 소설의 다작 작가였다. Edinburgh에서 태어난 Ballantyne은 열 자녀 중 아홉 번째였다. 16세에 Ballantyne은 캐나다로 이주하여 Hudson's Bay Company에서 일하면서 모피 무역을 위해 전국을 여행했다. 1847년 아버지가 세상을 떠나 스코틀랜드로 돌아온 그는 평생 동안 100권이 넘는 어린이 모험 책을 쓰면서 본격적으로 문학 활동을 시작했다. 'The Coral Island' 및 'The Young Fur Traders'와 같은 이야기는 큰 인기를 얻었으며 많은 이야기가 캐나다 전역을 여행한 자신의 경험을 바탕으로 했다.
그의 대표작으로는 "The Coral Island"(《산호섬》)과 "The Gorilla Hunters"(《고릴라 사냥꾼》) 등이 있으며, 이들 작품은 당시 영국에서 매우 인기가 있었습니다. 또한, 그는 자연과학에 관심을 가지고 있어 책에도 관련 내용을 많이 썼다.
"Under the Waves _ Diving in Deep Waters" is a novel written by the 19th century Scottish writer and adventurer R. M. Ballantyne.
R.M. Ballantyne (1825-1894) was a Scottish artist and prolific author of mostly children's fiction. Born in Edinburgh, Ballantyne was the ninth of ten children. At the age of 16, Ballantyne moved to Canada, where he worked for the Hudson's Bay Company, where he traveled the country in the fur trade. Returning to Scotland after his father's death in 1847, he began his literary career in earnest, writing over 100 children's adventure books during his lifetime. His stories like 'The Coral Island' and 'The Young Fur Traders' were hugely popular, and many of his stories were based on his own experiences traveling across Canada.
His representative works include "The Coral Island" and "The Gorilla Hunters", which were very popular in England at the time. In addition, he was interested in natural science and wrote a lot of related contents in books.
R. M. Ballantyne(Robert Michael Ballantyne)은 19세기 스코틀랜드 작가다. 1825년 4월 24일 스코틀랜드 에딘버러에서 태어나 1894년 2월 8일 이탈리아 로마에서 세상을 떠났다. 발렌타인은 빅토리아 시대에 유행했던 젊은 독자들을 위한 모험 소설로 가장 잘 알려져 있다.
Ballantyne의 글은 생존, 탐험, 다른 문화와의 만남에 대한 이야기를 다루었다. 그는 캐나다의 Hudson's Bay Company에서 사무원으로 일했고 나중에는 세계 여러 곳에서 여행하는 저널리스트로 일하면서 자신의 경험에서 영감을 얻었다. 이러한 경험을 통해 그는 광야, 토착민, 해양 모험에 대한 직접적인 지식을 얻었고 이를 자신의 이야기에 활용하였다.
Ballantyne의 주목할 만한 작품에는 "The Coral Island"(1858)로 무인도에서 난파된 세 소년의 이야기와 열대 낙원에서의 모험을 담고 있다. 특히 이 소설은 이후의 모험 문학에 지대한 영향을 미쳤으며 로버트 루이스 스티븐슨과 쥘 베른 같은 작가들에게 영감을 주었다.
Ballantyne의 다른 인기 작품으로는 "The Gorilla Hunters"(1861), "Ungava: A Tale of Esquimaux Land"(1857), "The Young Fur Traders"(1856) 등이 있다. 그는 경력 기간 동안 주로 젊은 청중을 대상으로 100권이 넘는 책을 썼지만 그의 작품은 모든 연령대의 독자들에게도 인기가 있었다.
R. M. Ballantyne (Robert Michael Ballantyne) was a 19th-century Scottish writer. He was born on April 24, 1825 in Edinburgh, Scotland and died on February 8, 1894 in Rome, Italy. Valentine is best known for the adventure novels for young readers popular in the Victorian era.
Ballantyne's writings dealt with stories of survival, exploration, and encounters with other cultures. He worked as a clerk for the Hudson's Bay Company in Canada and later as a traveling journalist in various parts of the world, drawing inspiration from his own experiences. Through these experiences, he gained first-hand knowledge of the wilderness, indigenous peoples, and maritime adventures, which he incorporated into his own stories.
Among Ballantyne's notable works is "The Coral Island" (1858), which tells the story of three boys shipwrecked on an uninhabited island and their adventures in a tropical paradise. In particular, the novel had a profound influence on later adventure literature and inspired writers such as Robert Louis Stevenson and Jules Verne.
Other popular works by Ballantyne include "The Gorilla Hunters" (1861), "Ungava: A Tale of Esquimaux Land" (1857), and "The Young Fur Traders" (1856). He wrote over 100 books during his career, mostly aimed at a younger audience, but his works were also popular with readers of all ages.
