  • Talbot Mundy (born William Lancaster Gribbon, 23 April 1879 – 5 August 1940) was an English writer of adventure fiction. Based for most of his life in the United States, he also wrote under the pseudonym of Walter Galt. Best known as the author of King of the Khyber Rifles and the series, much of his work was published in pulp magazines. Mundy was born to a conservative middle-class family in Hammersmith, London. Educated at Rugby College, he left with no qualifications and moved to British India, where he worked in administration and then journalism. He relocated to East Africa, where he worked as an ivory poacher and then as the town clerk of Kisumu. In 1909 he moved to New York City in the U.S., where he found himself living in poverty. A friend encouraged him to start writing about his life experiences, and he sold his first short story to Frank Munsey's magazine, , in 1911. He soon began selling short stories and non-fiction articles to a variety of pulp magazines, such as Argosy, Cavalier, and Adventure. In 1914 Mundy published his first novel, Rung Ho!, soon followed by The Winds of the World and King of the Khyber Rifles, all of which were set in British India and drew upon his own experiences. Critically acclaimed, they were published in both the U.S. and U.K. Becoming a U.S. citizen, in 1918 he joined the Christian Science new religious movement, and with them moved to Jerusalem to establish the city's first English-language newspaper. Returning to the U.S. in 1920, he began writing the Jimgrim series and saw the first film adaptations of his stories. Spending time at the Theosophical community of Lomaland in San Diego, California, he became a friend of Katherine Tingley and embraced Theosophy. Many of his novels produced in the coming years, most notably Om: The Secret of Ahbor Valley and The Devil's Guard, reflected his Theosophical beliefs. He also involved himself in various failed business ventures, including an oil drilling operation in Tijuana, Mexico. During the Great Depression he supplemented his career writing novels and short stories by authoring scripts for the radio series Jack Armstrong, the All-American Boy. In later life he suffered from diabetes, eventually dying of complications arising from the disease. During Mundy's career his work was often compared with that of his more commercially successful contemporaries, H. Rider Haggard and Rudyard Kipling, although unlike their work his adopted an anti-colonialist stance and expressed a positive interest in Asian religion and philosophy. His work has been cited as an influence on a variety of later science-fiction and fantasy writers, and he has been the subject of two biographies. (en)
  • タルボット・マンディ（Talbot Mundy、1879年4月23日 - 1940年8月5日）は、ロンドン生まれのイギリスの作家。本名、ウィリアム・ランカスター・グリボン(William Lancaster Gribbon)。 別名に、ウォルター・ゴールト(Walter Galt)、Makundu Viazi、タルボット・チェットウィンド・ミラー・マンディ(Talbot Chetwynd Miller Mundy)、トーマス・ハートリー(Thomas Hartley)がある。 16歳で家出した彼は、インド、アフリカ、中近東や極東を放浪した。29歳のころからタルボット・マンディ名義を使い始め、1911年にアメリカでパルプ・マガジンに作品を発表し始める。 最も有名な作品は、セポイの反乱を題材にした小説で、映画化もされた「King of the Khyber Rifles」である。 パルプヒーロー作品「ジムグリム(JimGrim)」シリーズは、『アドベンチャー・マガジン(Adventure magazine)』誌に連載された。また他の作品として、ハイラ・シン(Hira Singh)や、ブリトン人を助けてジュリアス・シーザーと戦ったドルイド僧サモトラケのトロス(Tros of Samothrace)などを主人公にしたものなどが多数ある。 彼の作品におけるヤスミニ(Yasmini)についての長く詳細な描写や、Khinjanの洞窟に屯するアウトローたちの描写は、後のロバート・E・ハワードやリイ・ブラケットに大きな影響を与えた。 マンディは、ブラヴァツキー夫人によって提唱されたオカルト運動、神智学にかかわり、「西方より来る九人の賢人(Nine Unknown Men in the West)」の伝説を大衆化するのに力を注いだ。 (ja)

  • "Why did I start writing? The price of pork and beans made it necessary. I just got hungry enough, which is always a good thing for beginners. I was in New York and I knew Jeff Hanley, a red haired reporter on a paper there. I would pound out stuff on the typewriter and Jeff would come home, look my stuff over, say it was rotten, which it was, and make me go ahead doing more of it. Finally, under the stint of his irony I wrote a story and sold it to Frank Munsey." (en)
  • "[Mundy's] style is simultaneously breezy and pungent, full of epigrams and laden with meaning. Attention to timing, tone, feel, mood, and atmosphere, including the olfactory senses, contribute enormously to all Mundy's stories, whatever the region ... He was able to describe locales and foreign beliefs with a convincing touch of authenticity, combining knowledge from other books, popular legends, and his own travel writings and friendships with a vivid imagination, leaving the reader unable to discern what was fact and what was fiction." (en)
  • "I remember sitting in the dark and seeing the throat of the Khyber Pass at sunset - gloomy, ominous, mysterious, lonely, haunted by the ghosts of murdered men and by the prowling outlaws who live by the rifle and shun the daylight. As if the word were almost spoken in my ear I heard "Death roosts in the Khyber while he preens his wings." It seemed like a good line, so I made a note of it." (en)
