Hornung's 'Stingaree' emerges from the rich tapestry of early 20th-century literature, drawing readers into an enthralling world where wit and ingenuity collide with the dramatic landscapes of the Australian bush.

Autoren-Porträt von E. W. Hornung
Ernest William Hornung, often known by his initials E.W. Hornung, was a prolific English author and poet, best recognized for his creation of the gentleman thief character, A. J. Raffles. Born on June 7, 1866, in Middlesbrough, England, Hornung spent part of his youth in Australia, which influenced many of his works, including the lesser-known but notable novel 'Stingaree' which adds to his diverse literary portfolio. This novel, set in Australia, showcases his ability to inject excitement and adventure into his narratives, a signature of Hornung's literary style. Amidst his literary achievements, Hornung is most acclaimed for his Raffles series, beginning with 'The Amateur Cracksman' (1899), which presented an alternative view to the detective genre popularized by his brother-in-law, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, creator of Sherlock Holmes. Hornung's literary output was not confined to novels; he also penned short stories and poetry, displaying a breadth of talent that contributed to Edwardian literature. He volunteered as a soldier and then served as a welfare officer in World War I, events that influenced his later work. E.W. Hornung's contribution to the crime genre and his exploration of complex moral themes ensure his works remain of interest to scholars of English literature. Hornung passed away on March 22, 1921, but his work continues to attract readers with its enduring themes of justice, adventure, and the eternal battle between good and evil.
