Inhaltsangabe:
These are E. W. Hornung's famous stories of adventure and crime featuring the thrill seeking A. J. Raffles and his friend, accomplice and chronicler 'Bunny'. By turns urbane gentleman about town and accomplished cricketer, life is just too ordinary for Raffles and that sets him on a series of adventures that have long been treasured as a real antidote to the 'white knights' who are the usual heroes of the crime fiction of this period. This book includes the first two collections of Raffles-the Gentleman Cracksman-stories, The Amateur Cracksman & The Black Mask-comprising some 16 stories in all. Included are 'The Ides of March,' 'Nine Points of the Law,' 'The Fate of Faustina' and many other favourites. Leonaur is bringing the entire Raffles adventures together in two matching volumes which are available in softcover and hardcover with dust jacket-making them perfect for collectors.
Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor: E. W. Hornung (1866-1921) was an English author best known for creating A. J. Raffles, the gentleman thief whose stories offered a distinctive counterpart to the detective fiction of the period. The brother-in-law of Arthur Conan Doyle, Hornung developed a narrative approach that placed the reader within the perspective of the criminal rather than the investigator. His Raffles stories remain a significant contribution to late nineteenth-century crime fiction.
