Noel Barber

    September 9, 1909 – July 10, 1988

    Noel Barber was a British novelist and journalist whose exotic romances and historical works are rooted in his firsthand experiences as a leading foreign correspondent. His reporting from Morocco, where he was stabbed five times, and from Hungary, where he survived a gunshot wound to the head during the revolution, shaped his unique literary style. Barber masterfully blended thrilling narratives with a deep understanding of complex geopolitical situations. His writings offer readers a captivating glimpse into the world through the eyes of a man who had personally experienced its dangers and wonders.
