Produktinformationen zu „Denis Dent (ePub)“
E. W. Hornung's 'Denis Dent' stands as a testament to the author's literary skill and enduring legacy. Crafted with the same deftness as his more famous tales, this novel blends adventure with a rich portrayal of human character under the strain of existential quest. Hornung's prose in 'Denis Dent' is reflective of his time, an era brimming with the British Empire's venturesome spirit, yet it manages to transcend its period to explore universal themes of ambition, loyalty, and the changing tides of fortune. The narrative weaves through the trials and tribulations of its titular protagonist, offering readers both a compelling story and a thoughtful insight into the concerns of its cultural and literary epoch.
E. W. Hornung, better known for creating the gentleman thief, A. J. Raffles, brings to 'Denis Dent' a similar complexity of character and meticulous attention to the vicissitudes of plot. Hornung's own experiences and interests, no doubt, influenced his novelist eye-his travels and insight into different strata of society imbue this work with authenticity and depth. The novel emerges not just as a work of its time but as a culmination of Hornung's evolving craft, informed by his life and traversing beyond the boundaries of crime fiction for which he was chiefly known.
'Denis Dent' is therefore recommended to readers who appreciate classic literature and the richness of early 20th-century English prose. Lovers of adventure novels and character studies will find Hornung's work engaging and thought-provoking. The republishing of this novel speaks to the importance of preserving such narratives which still resonate with contemporary issues of identity and ambition. DigiCat Publishing's edition ensures that 'Denis Dent' remains accessible to a new generation of readers, inviting them to explore the intricacies of Hornung's literary artistry.

Autoren-Porträt von E. W. Hornung
Ernest William Hornung, known as E. W. Hornung, was an English author born on June 7, 1866, in Middlesbrough, England. He is best remembered for his series of stories about the gentleman thief A. J. Raffles. Before gaining fame with Raffles, Hornung wrote several other novels including 'Denis Dent: A Novel' (Denis Dent, 1894), which showcases his significant literary talent. Hornung's style often exhibits a keen interest in adventure and his characters frequently face moral dilemmas, a theme he explores adeptly in 'Denis Dent', unfolding the tale of its eponymous hero. His writing is distinguished by its vivid character development, intertwined with the social concerns of his time, making his work both entertaining and thought-provoking. Although Hornung's literary contributions have been overshadowed by the Sherlock Holmes stories of his brother-in-law, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, scholars and readers alike continue to recognize the merit of his work in the canon of English literature. E. W. Hornung passed away on March 22, 1921, but his novels, particularly those featuring the charismatic Raffles, ensure his enduring legacy in the realm of crime and detective fiction.
