전기 및 작가의 여정
Charles C. Mann, born in 1955 and educated at Amherst College, came to prominence not from a university faculty post but from the world of long-form journalism, a background that helps explain the unusual range and readability of his work. By the time he became widely known as an author of big-idea history, he had already established himself as a science journalist and correspondent for The Atlantic, Science, and Wired, with additional work appearing in outlets such as The New York Times, Smithsonian, Vanity Fair, and The Washington Post. His emergence as a major nonfiction writer was gradual and reportorial: a habit of following specialized research into expansive narrative eventually led him from magazine features to book-length arguments, and 1491 grew in part from earlier Atlantic reporting.
