Résumé
In "The Tales of A. J. Raffles, A Gentleman-Thief, " E. W. Hornung introduces readers to the charming yet morally ambiguous character of A. J. Raffles, a dithering gentleman who leads a double life as a master burglar. With a witty and elegant prose style, Hornung blends elements of humor, suspense, and crime fiction, constructing intricate plots that reveal both Raffles's cunning and his adherence to a personal code of honor.
This collection reflects the zeitgeist of late Victorian England, where class tensions and the notion of gentlemanly behavior serve as a backdrop to Raffles's audacious exploits. E. W. Hornung, a contemporary of Arthur Conan Doyle and the husband of Raffles's cousin, was inspired by his own upper-class milieu and fascination with the complexities of morality and identity. His close association with the literary scene provided him with insights into the workings of British society during a transformative era.
Brought up in a world of wealth and privilege, Hornung's exploration of crime from a gentleman's perspective adds a unique layer of complexity to the narrative. For readers who relish tales of clever heists and social commentary, "The Tales of A. J. Raffles, A Gentleman-Thief" is an exemplary work that transcends mere genre fiction. The book not only entertains but also invites reflection on the nature of crime and gentility, making it a compelling read for both avid mystery fans and scholars of Victorian literature.
