William Le Queux

Stolen Souls (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Russian nihilists, dangerous dames, exotic poisons, deception, hypnotism and murder are just some of the elements in this collection of short stories, published early in Le Queux's career. Most of the plots involve pre-Hitchcockian heroes being duped by a various cast of cosmopolitan femme fatales with different agendas, not always iniquitous in nature. The storytelling is fast and fun. (Goodreads)

Autorenporträt

William Le Queux (1864-1927) was an Anglo-French journalist, novelist, and radio broadcaster. Born in London to a French father and English mother, Le Queux studied art in Paris and embarked on a walking tour of Europe before finding work as a reporter for various French newspapers. Towards the end of the 1880s, he returned to London where he edited Gossip and Piccadilly before being hired as a reporter for The Globe in 1891. After several unhappy years, he left journalism to pursue his creative interests. Le Queux made a name for himself as a leading writer of popular fiction with such espionage thrillers as The Great War in England in 1897 (1894) and The Invasion of 1910 (1906). In addition to his writing, Le Queux was a notable pioneer of early aviation and radio communication, interests he maintained while publishing around 150 novels over his decades long career.
