Noe l. Barber Libros
9 de septiembre de 1909 – 10 de julio de 1988
Noel Barber fue un novelista y periodista británico cuyas novelas románticas exóticas y obras históricas se basan en sus experiencias de primera mano como corresponsal extranjero principal. Sus reportajes desde Marruecos, donde fue apuñalado cinco veces, y desde Hungría, donde sobrevivió a un disparo en la cabeza durante la revolución, moldearon su estilo literario único. Barber combinó magistralmente narrativas emocionantes con una profunda comprensión de las complejas situaciones geopolíticas. Sus escritos ofrecen a los lectores una visión fascinante del mundo a través de los ojos de un hombre que había experimentado personalmente sus peligros y maravillas.
