The Amateur Cracksman de E. W. Hornung

The Amateur Cracksman

Autor E. W. Hornung
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 25 feb 2009
Arthur J. Raffles is a character created in the 1890s by E. W. Hornung, a brother-in-law to Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator of Sherlock Holmes. Raffles is, in many ways, a deliberate inversion of Holmes - he is a "gentleman thief," living in The Albany, a very upscale address in London, playing cricket for the Gentlemen of England and supporting himself by carrying out ingenious burglaries. He is called the "Amateur Cracksman," and often, at first, differentiates between himself and the "professors" - professional criminals from the lower classes.

Notă biografică

Born in Middlesborough, England, author, poet, and journalist Ernest William Hornung (1866–1921) moved to Australia at 17, having suffered from ill health most of his life, in the hopes that his constitution might benefit from the change in climate. Although he only lived there for two years, his experiences there put him on the path of becoming a writer and would inspire his work for years to come, not least A Bride from the Bush (1890), his first novel. Hornung had developed an interest in urban crime and criminal behaviour while working as a journalist during the Jack the Ripper murders, which would permeate his fiction, most notably in the form of Hornung’s most famous character, A.J. Raffles, gentleman thief.

Judith John (glossary) is a writer and editor specializing in literature and history. A former secondary school English Language and Literature teacher, she has subsequently worked as an editor on major educational projects, including English A: Literature for the Pearson International Baccalaureate series. Judith’s major research interests include Romantic and Gothic literature, and Renaissance drama.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
In this thrilling, gift collection of tales, E.W. Hornung casts criminal A.J. Raffles as his ignoble hero. A renowned London socialite, Raffles is secretly ingenious master of thievery and disguise. Assisted by friend Bunny Manders and in constant pursuit by Scotland Yard, this gentleman thief’s escapades are as compelling as they are dastardly.
