Gabriel Conroy

The life of gold miners in the American West, full of trials and cruelty, the harsh and brave heroes, manifestations of human kindness and loyalty – these are the main themes of Bret Harte's works. He was a daring journalist, a lyrical poet, and a unique prose writer. His literary talent was recognized immediately, and surprisingly, first of all in Russia. But it is not only the adventurous plots and colorful images of the heroes in Bret Harte's works that attract new readers to his books; perhaps it is also the triumph of justice, which is present in his only novel "Gabriel Conroy" and in his tales and stories.
