Omschrijving

In "Mr. Justice Raffles," E. W. Hornung crafts a captivating narrative that intertwines crime, justice, and moral ambiguity, showcasing the titular character, Raffles, an engaging gentleman thief and a duality of protagonist and antihero. Set against the backdrop of late Victorian London, the novel is marked by Hornung's deft prose and intricate plotting, which challenge the conventional boundaries of crime fiction. Written during an era enthusiastic about the urbanization and tensions of the industrial age, Hornung'Äôs work reflects societal anxieties about crime and morality, often blurring the lines between right and wrong in a sharply humorous yet thoughtful manner. E. W. Hornung, a contemporary and brother-in-law of the celebrated Arthur Conan Doyle, was deeply influenced by the cultural milieu and literary trends of his time. His experiences as a playwright and a keen observer of social dynamics allowed him to infuse this novel with a unique perspective on criminality and the legal system. Hornung's choice to frame Raffles as a gentleman of leisure who simultaneously enacts justice speaks to the complexities of identity and ethics in an evolving society. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in a nuanced exploration of criminality and morality, particularly those who appreciate the interplay between the protagonist'Äôs charm and the darker aspects of his escapades. "Mr. Justice Raffles" promises to entertain while inviting critical reflection on the very nature of justice and societal norms.
