Produktbeschreibung
The Czar's Spy is an international espionage and intrigue story that was published in 1905 by the English/French novelist William Le Queux. This story takes the reader on a slalom journey across Italy, England, Finland, and Russia before returning to Italy. The goal of this expedition is to solve a mystery, but instead of providing sought-after answers, it simply raises additional questions and causes unclear events. The protagonist of the novel discovers a ripped photo of a stunning woman, falls in love with this unfortunate victim of circumstance, and sacrifices everything to save her. Love, murder, treachery, and mystery are all elements of the plot. The First World War's impending international unrest and hostility are foretold in the novel fairly accurately. It is also an accurate depiction of the early 20th century's deteriorating morality, as well as the collapse of the central pillar that formerly held together all of life's principles. Money replaced family as the most essential thing, power replaced dignity, and a little girl could now compete with world leaders!

Autorenporträt
William Tufnell Le Queux (1864 - 1927) was an Anglo-French journalist and writer. He was also a diplomat (honorary consul for San Marino), a traveller (in Europe, the Balkans and North Africa), a flying buff who officiated at the first British air meeting at Doncaster in 1909 and a wireless pioneer who broadcast music from his own station long before radio was generally available; his claims regarding his own abilities and exploits, however, were usually exaggerated. His best-known works are the anti-French and anti-Russian invasion fantasy The Great War in England in 1897 (1894) and the anti-German invasion fantasy The Invasion of 1910 (1906), the latter of which was a phenomenal bestseller.
