Autor

Robert Keable (1887–1927) was a British writer, whose literary career was both prominent and controversial, especially after the publication of his most famous novel, 'Simon Called Peter'. This particular work, published in 1921, delves into the complexities of love and faith experienced by a chaplain during World War I, reflecting Keable's own experiences as a chaplain with the YMCA in France during the war. Critically acclaimed for its candid portrayal of war and its effect on personal belief and morality, the novel captured the attention of readers of its time, stirring both admiration and scandal for its exploration of a priest's affair with a young nurse. Keable's writing is often characterized by a deep psychological understanding of his characters, and his narratives frequently examine the profound effects of external events on the human psyche. 'Simon Called Peter' not only brought him literary fame but also sparked discussion about the role of religion in society and the challenges of maintaining faith in the face of adversity. Despite his short career, Keable's work continues to be studied for its literary merit and historical significance in capturing the zeitgeist of the post-war period.
