Résumé
E. W. Hornung's "A Thief in the Night: A Book of Raffles' Adventures" presents a captivating collection of short stories that chronicles the escapades of the notorious gentleman thief, A. J. Raffles. Infused with Edwardian charm, Hornung employs a witty and engaging prose style, blending elements of mystery, humor, and adventure, while exploring themes of morality and social stratification. The literary context is significant, emerging from the late Victorian period, where notions of propriety and crime were deeply intertwined, thus reflecting society's fascination with antiheroes and the duality of the criminal mind.
E. W. Hornung, an accomplished author and playwright, was notably inspired by his close relationship with Arthur Conan Doyle, whose Sherlock Holmes stories laid the groundwork for the detective fiction genre. As Doyle's brother-in-law, Hornung's grasp of narrative intricacies and character development can be traced to this literary lineage. His choice to create Raffles, an amiable rogue, reveals an exploration of the allure of the criminal archetype against the backdrop of a rigidly structured society.
Readers will find "A Thief in the Night" an exquisite blend of suspense and sophistication, perfect for those who enjoy tales of cunning escapades dripping with humor and wit. This book not only entertains but also invites contemplation on the complexities of human nature and the fine line between right and wrong.
