Résumé
The "E. W. HORNUNG Ultimate Collection" is a compendium that encapsulates the diverse literary landscape of E. W. Hornung, featuring 19 novels and over 40 short stories, alongside poignant war poems and compelling memoirs. Hornung's writing is characterized by its vivid characterizations, intricate plotting, and a balanced blend of romance, adventure, and moral dilemmas. This collection showcases his ability to navigate genres, reflecting societal changes during the late Victorian and early Edwardian periods, with themes of heroism, loyalty, and the human condition resonating throughout his works.
E. W. Hornung, renowned for creating the iconic character A. J. Raffles, the gentleman thief, was deeply influenced by his personal experiences and sociocultural milieu. Born in 1866, he was intimately familiar with the complexities of British society. His varied career as a writer, editor, and sportsman, particularly his experiences during the First World War, inspired his exploration of themes related to valor and loss in this collection.

This ultimate collection is a significant treasure for both ardent fans of Hornung and new readers alike. It invites readers to delve into the intricacies of human character through the lens of war, adventure, and romance. Highly recommended for those interested in classic literature, this compilation also serves as an essential resource for understanding the evolution of early 20th-century storytelling.
