Samenvatting
A.J Raffles, a famed cricket player and secret thief, teams up with a young admirer, Bunny, to rob the wealthy of their riches and rare possessions, all in search of a thrill. Set in late Victorian Britian, The Amateur Cracksman by E.W Hornung is a collection of short fiction starring the author’s most popular character, the beloved criminal, A.J Raffles.
A.J Raffles, a prominent member in London society and well-respected athlete, has a shocking secret identity; he is a notorious thief. Always chasing the thrill of a heist or pickpocketing, Raffles attends test cricket games under the slight guise of interest for the sport. Though he genuinely loves the game, Raffles is more tempted by the long duration of the test matches, granting him plenty of time and opportunity to steal from the wealthy spectators. Well-seasoned in this crime, Raffles eventually initiates a partner to assist him in his transgressions. Having idolized the older man’s athletic career, Bunny is a young man who admires Raffles. As their friendship grows, the size of their crimes follows, stealing diamonds, committing felonies, aiding fugitives, and executing daring heists. However, as they continue to commit crimes, they catch the attention of a Scotland Yard detective. While Inspector Mackenzie begins to suspect that Raffles and Bunny are the notorious robbers tormenting the London elite, he watches their every move, desperate to find evidence that proves his suspicions. With eight stories featuring complex characters, heists, plots, and even murder, The Amateur Cracksman by E.W Hornung is full of suspense and adventure. First published in 1899, The Amateur Cracksman was well-received by its original audience, inspiring film adaptations and literary sequels. Beginning E.W Hornung’s famed crime series, The Amateur Cracksman introduces the complicated and charming characters that audiences grew to love, A.J Raffles and Bunny. With action, intrigue, and even romance, The Amateur Cracksman starts a timeless series that remains to be exciting for contemporary audiences. This edition of author E.W Hornung’s The Amateur Cracksman, features a new, eye-catching cover design and is reprinted in a modern and readable font. With these accommodations, contemporary readers are encouraged to revisit the classic adventures and mishaps of the beloved partners in crime, Raffles and Bunny.
