Produktbeschreibung
In 'In White Raiment', William Le Queux masterfully weaves a narrative that explores the covert dynamics of espionage and international intrigue set against the backdrop of an early 20th-century landscape fraught with tension and uncertainty. With a blend of vivid descriptions and fast-paced dialogue, Le Queux delves into themes of loyalty, betrayal, and the morally ambiguous nature of patriotism, capturing the zeitgeist of a world on the brink of change. The novel not only entertains but also engages with the anxieties of its time, making it a significant work within the genre of thriller fiction, characterized by its intricate plot and well-drawn characters that reflect societal concerns of the era. Le Queux, a prolific British novelist and journalist, was deeply influenced by his experiences in the realms of politics and journalism. His extensive travels throughout Europe, particularly in regions marked by political upheaval, provided him with a keen understanding of the espionage that pervaded international relations during his lifetime. This background is palpable in 'In White Raiment', as the author employs his knowledge of contemporary geopolitical affairs to craft a narrative that resonates with both realism and speculative intrigue. Readers seeking an engrossing blend of suspense and insight into the morally complex world of espionage will find 'In White Raiment' to be an essential addition to their literary collection. Le Queux's gripping storytelling and rich contextual detail not only grab the reader's attention but also provoke thoughtful reflection on the nature of duty and sacrifice amidst tumultuous times. This novel is a captivating choice for anyone eager to explore the undercurrents of historical intrigue during a pivotal era.

Autorenporträt
Anglo-French journalist and author William Tufnell Le Queux was born on July 2, 1864, and died on October 13, 1927. He was also a diplomat (honorary consul for San Marino), a traveler (in Europe, the Balkans, and North Africa), a fan of flying (he presided over the first British air meeting at Doncaster in 1909), and a wireless pioneer who played music on his own station long before radio was widely available. However, he often exaggerated his own skills and accomplishments. The Great War in England in 1897 (1894), a fantasy about an invasion by France and Russia, and The Invasion of 1910 (1906), a fantasy about an invasion by Germany, are his best-known works. Le Queux was born in the city. The man who raised him was English, and his father was French. He went to school in Europe and learned art in Paris from Ignazio (or Ignace) Spiridon. As a young man, he walked across Europe and then made a living by writing for French newspapers. He moved back to London in the late 1880s and managed the magazines Gossip and Piccadilly. In 1891, he became a parliamentary reporter for The Globe. He stopped working as a reporter in 1893 to focus on writing and traveling.
