"Help!" Through the whole of the night, chopping, shifting winds had been tearing through the streets of London, now from the north, now from the south, now from the east, now from the west, now from all points of the compass at once; which last caprice—taking place for at least the twentieth time in the course of the hour which the bells of Big Ben were striking—was enough in itself to make the policeman on the beat doubtful of his senses.

Autorenporträt
Benjamin Leopold Farjeon (1838–1903) was a prolific Victorian novelist known for his unique blending of mystery, romance, and social commentary within his works. Born in London to a Jewish family, Farjeon's literary pursuits began early, shaped by the Dickensian era's narrative styles. His career, spanning several decades, was both successful and widely influential during his time. 'The Mystery of M. Felix,' one of Farjeon's notable works, is emblematic of his narrative technique that adeptly intertwines elements of suspense and character-driven storytelling. Farjeon's literary style often reflected his keen observational skills, capturing the intricacies of human behaviors and societal norms. His novels not only entertained but frequently addressed the social issues of his day, fostering a sense of empathy and consciousness in his readers. Described as a master of plot and pacing, Farjeon's contributions to the literary scene extend beyond his novels, influencing the genre of detective fiction and inspiring a tradition of literary innovation that persevered into the 20th century. His works remain valuable windows into Victorian life and imagination, offering a fusion of entertainment and thought-provoking narratives to his readers then and now.
