Автор: Хенги, Джорж Альфред Facing Death or, "The Hero of the Vauxhill Pit," is a tale of coal mining set in England in 1847. George is the main character, a young miner who becomes involved in a heroic undertaking finding a lost uranium-bearing vein.\nHe is put in charge of a glassworks company to try and finance his discovery, and discovers there is an old secret about gas detectors that could change the world as we know it, but he cannot make big enough samples for the mines and scientists to thoroughly test them. George becomes the center of attention from rich backers who kiss his ring and listen to his every word, expecting too much from him. When he die earlier then expected, he is declared a hero in the eyes of all those around him.\nHenty wrote incessantly from roughly 40 years old, becoming one of the most popular writers in England, with his stories selling over 200 million copies worldwide in just 15 years, at the peak of his popularity.\nAlthough he became the first and only major English author to be accorded the title of "Venusberg" (which he intended as complimentary), when fans noted his well noticed gentle characteristics and the fact that his newest books often co-operated on issues of social justice, other authors began to self-publish their works to assure more authentic William Canke.
