Kenneth C. Davis

Kenneth C. Davis es un autor superventas del New York Times, mejor conocido por su serie "Don't Know Much About®", que revolucionó la escritura de historia popular al hacer temas complejos accesibles y atractivos. La serie debutó con "Don't Know Much About® History", que permaneció 35 semanas consecutivas en la lista de superventas del New York Times y ha vendido más de 1.6 millones de copias. Sus obras, incluyendo "America's Hidden History", "A Nation Rising" y "The Hidden History of America at War", combinan investigación rigurosa con narrativas convincentes para revelar aspectos olvidados de la historia estadounidense. Publishers Weekly ha elogiado a Davis como "un referente para el análisis y la perspectiva histórica".

Davis se especializa en examinar narrativas históricas menos conocidas a través de una prosa meticulosamente investigada pero accesible. Su libro "In the Shadow of Liberty: The Hidden History of Slavery, Four Presidents, and Five Black Lives" explora la compleja relación entre la esclavitud y la presidencia estadounidense. Entre sus obras destacadas también se encuentran "More Deadly Than War: The Hidden History of the Spanish Flu and the First World War" y "Strongman: The Rise of Five Dictators and the Fall of Democracy", nombrado entre los mejores libros de 2020 por Kirkus Reviews y el Washington Post. Su publicación de 2022, "Great Short Books: A Year of Reading—Briefly", muestra su versatilidad literaria como una celebración de la literatura concisa.

Continuando su exploración de escritura impactante, Davis se prepara para lanzar "The World in Books: 52 Works of Great Short Nonfiction" en octubre de 2024. Esta próxima obra refleja su compromiso de hacer que la no ficción significativa sea accesible para lectores generales. A lo largo de su carrera, Davis ha demostrado una habilidad única para transformar el conocimiento histórico en narrativas cautivadoras que resuenan tanto con lectores ocasionales como con entusiastas de la historia.
