Book RAFFLES  A GENTLEMAN THIEF  27 Adventure Tales in One Volume

Download or read book RAFFLES A GENTLEMAN THIEF 27 Adventure Tales in One Volume written by E. W. Hornung and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2023-12-30 with total page 592 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A. J. Raffles is an 'amateur cracksman' and a gentleman-thief who with his wit and ingenuity befools everyone to get what he wants. Raffles is an antihero. Although a thief, he never steals from his hosts, he helps old friends in trouble, and in a subsequent volume he may or may not die on the veldt during the Boer War. Additionally, the recognition of the problems of the distribution of wealth is a recurrent subtext throughout the stories. Raffles is, in many ways, a deliberate inversion of Sherlock Holmes on which he is based – he is a "gentleman thief", living at the Albany, a prestigious address in London, playing cricket for the Gentlemen of England and supporting himself by carrying out ingenious burglaries. He is called the "Amateur Cracksman", and often, at first, differentiates between himself and the "professors" – professional criminals from the lower classes.
