O książce

E. W. Hornung's «Ultimate Collection» is a comprehensive anthology that encompasses 19 novels and over 40 short stories, complemented by a selection of poignant war poems and memoirs. Hornung's literary style reflects his keen observations of human behavior, characterized by wit, suspense, and a deep social consciousness. Set against the backdrop of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, this collection showcases the vibrant literary context of the Edwardian era, marked by its explorations of class, morality, and the complexities of Victorian society. Through masterful storytelling and rich characterizations, Hornung captivates readers with tales ranging from the audacious escapades of his famous criminal antihero, A.J. Raffles, to the evocative reflections on the human experience in wartime. E. W. Hornung, best known for creating the gentleman thief Raffles, was deeply influenced by his experiences of social stratification and the aftermath of war, which are vividly presented in this collection. Born in England to a family of literary reputation, Hornung was not only an accomplished writer but also played a crucial role in capturing the zeitgeist of his time, bridging narrative with social commentary. His firsthand encounters with the complexities of life during a period of rapid change infuse his prose with authenticity and insight. For readers intrigued by adventure, intrigue, and the nuanced exploration of moral dilemmas, Hornung's «Ultimate Collection» is a treasure trove worth delving into. It not only serves as an introduction to his prolific career but also offers a lens through which to view the socio-political landscape of his time. Scholars and casual readers alike will find themselves enchanted by the ingenuity of Hornung's storytelling and the resonant themes that echo through his works.
