Author : Geoffrey Household

Geoffrey Household was a British author renowned for his gripping thrillers, which often featured a first-person narrative from the perspective of an adventurous gentleman. With a bibliography of 37 works, including children's fiction, his most celebrated novel, "Rogue Male" (1939), explores the chilling premise of a hunter turned prey, later adapted into the film "Man Hunt" by Fritz Lang in 1941. His fast-paced storytelling style paved the way for future literary classics like Richard Condon's "The Manchurian Candidate" and Frederick Forsyth's "The Day of the Jackal." A graduate of Magdalen College, Oxford, Household lived and worked in various countries before serving in the Intelligence Corps during World War II. After the war, he embraced a pastoral lifestyle while continuing to write, ultimately settling in Charlton, near Banbury, Oxfordshire, where he passed away. In addition to his novels, he authored an autobiography, "Against the Wind," and several short story collections, which he regarded as his finest achievements.
