Autoren-Porträt von E. W. Hornung
Ernest William Hornung, known as E. W. Hornung (1866-1921), was an English author and poet, perhaps best known for his series of crime novels featuring the gentleman thief A. J. Raffles. Hornung was born in Middlesbrough, England, and was the brother-in-law of renowned author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Known for his intricate plots and interesting characters, Hornung's literary style blends action and psychological insight. His work often explored themes of honor, guilt, and redemption. 'The Boss of Taroomba,' while not as well-known as his Raffles series, showcases Hornung's talent for vivid settings and dramatic narratives. Though 'The Boss of Taroomba' did not receive the same acclaim as the Raffles books, it still exemplifies Hornung's capacity for storytelling and his exploration of moral complexities. Hornung published over 20 books, including novelizations of his own short stories and works centered around the Australian landscape and experience, which he gained firsthand during his travels to the country. His contribution to English literature is significant for his depiction of criminal antiheroes, thus providing an interesting contrast to the typical detective stories of his time, such as those by his brother-in-law, Doyle.
