Autoren-Porträt von William Le Queux
William Tufnell Le Queux, often regarded as one of the foremost pioneers and proficient craftsmen in the genre of espionage and adventure fiction, was an Anglo-French writer with a pronounced reputation in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Born on July 2, 1864, his career as an author was characterized by prolific output and a knack for weaving sensational plots that resonated with the anxieties and intrigues of his era. Apart from 'The Lost Million', his extensive bibliography includes notable works such as 'The Great War in England in 1897' and 'Spies of the Kaiser'. His narratives, typically steeped in espionage and mystery, often reflected the growing fears of international conflict and the allure of sensational journalism. The literary style of Le Queux was characterized by a unique blend of purported insider knowledge and a flamboyant imagining of international conspiracies, which helped to both entertain and fuel the public's suspicion of foreign threats during periods of national unease. His work remains a significant, although sometimes critiqued, landmark within the literary genre of spy fiction, influencing the standards and tropes that would be further developed by subsequent authors in the field.
