Autoren-Porträt von E. W. Hornung
Ernest William Hornung, better known as E. W. Hornung (1866-1921), was an English author and poet best recognized for his creation of the gentleman thief character, A. J. Raffles, who first appeared in 'The Amateur Cracksman' (1899). Hornung was born in Middlesbrough, England, and was educated at Uppingham School before working in Australia for a few years. His time in Australia influenced some of his later writing, providing authentic backdrops to stories that reflected the landscapes and experiences he encountered. After his return to England, he matured into a notable writer of the crime genre, with 'Peccavi' (1900), a book whose title is Latin for 'I have sinned', marking one of his numerous works that encapsulate his literary style. This style often combined suspense with a keen insight into human character, set against the moral contrasts of Victorian and Edwardian society. While Hornung's Raffles stories were the pinnacle of his popular success, his other works, such as 'Peccavi', demonstrated his versatility as a writer and his capacity for exploring different moral and social themes outside the adventures of his famed literary creation. Hornung's contribution to English literature was significant, and his works continue to be read and appreciated for their engaging narratives and sharp societal observations.
