범죄/스릴러물
In E. W. Hornung's 'The Amateur Cracksman', readers are taken on a thrilling journey into the world of a gentleman thief named A. J. Raffles. This collection of short stories showcases Hornung's literary style of mixing elements of crime fiction with a touch of humor and wit, making it a unique read in the late 19th century literary context. The book delves into the moral ambiguity of Raffles' character, blurring the lines between right and wrong in a way that captivates the reader from start to finish. With intricate plots and clever twists, 'The Amateur Cracksman' offers a refreshing take on the classic heist story. E. W. Hornung, being the brother-in-law of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, drew inspiration from Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories to create the character of A. J. Raffles. Hornung's own experiences and observations of the upper-class society in England also influenced the development of Raffles as a complex and intriguing protagonist. Through this book, Hornung explores themes of morality, loyalty, and the consequences of one's actions. I recommend 'The Amateur Cracksman' to readers who enjoy classic crime fiction with a twist. Hornung's masterful storytelling and character development make this book a must-read for fans of the genre, offering a fresh perspective on the idea of the gentleman thief.
