Produktbeschreibung

E. W. Hornung's 'Fathers Of Men' is a compelling novel that delves into the complexities of masculinity, duty, and honor against the backdrop of early 20th-century England. The book follows the protagonist, who grapples with societal expectations and his own personal values as he navigates the pressures of family, work, and relationships. Hornung's writing style is characterized by its vivid imagery and keen observations of human nature, drawing readers into a world filled with moral dilemmas and emotional resonance. As a forerunner of the 'manly fiction' genre, 'Fathers Of Men' offers a window into the Victorian ideals of manhood and the struggle for identity in a rapidly changing society. E. W. Hornung, known for his popular 'Raffles' series, brings his expertise in crafting captivating narratives to this poignant exploration of masculinity and morality. His own experiences as a writer and observer of English society inform the nuanced characters and rich historical detail found in 'Fathers Of Men.' I highly recommend this thought-provoking novel to readers interested in classic literature, British culture, and the timeless theme of what it means to be a man.

Autorenporträt

Author and poet Ernest William Hornung was born on June 7, 1866, in Marton, Middlesbrough. Hornung was given the nickname Willie at a young age. The A. J. Raffles series of tales, which center on a gentleman burglar in late 19th-century London, is what made him most famous. His friends Lord Alfred Douglas and Oscar Wilde, as well as Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, served as inspiration for several of the characters. In 1898, he published ""In the Chains of Crime,"" which introduced Bunny Manders and Raffles. In 1899, the collection of Raffles' short stories was published as a book for sale. In addition to his Raffles tales, Hornung was a prolific fiction author who produced a large number of works between 1890 and 1914. He wrote a lot when he was in France; his son, Oscar, was killed at the Second Battle of Ypres in July 1915. The strain of his wartime duties significantly deteriorated Hornung's already poor constitution. On the train, he had a chill that developed into influenza and pneumonia, which led to his death on March 22, 1921, at the age of 54. In the south of France, in Saint-Jean-de-Luz, he was laid to rest.
