Autoren-Porträt von E. W. Hornung
Ernest William Hornung, more commonly known as E. W. Hornung, was an English author born on 7th June 1866. Hornung is renowned for his series of crime novels featuring the character A. J. Raffles, a gentleman thief in Victorian London. 'The Shadow of a Man' is one of his works that showcase his literary prowess, though less known than his Raffles series. He explored various genres, with a particular inclination towards crime and mystery infused with intricate character development and moral ambiguity. Hornung's writing style is often characterized by a refined narrative, attention to detail, and an underlying socio-psychological commentary reflective of his era. His works provide insight into the societal norms and the dichotomy of respectability and the criminal underworld during the late 19th to early 20th centuries. Hornung's contribution to literature was significant, and his creation of 'Raffles' is seen as a counterpoint to his brother-in-law Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes. His exploration of the anti-hero has left an indelible mark on the crime genre, influencing subsequent literature and popular culture. Hornung passed away on 22nd March 1921, but his legacy endures through his novels and their adaptations in various media.
