Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -William Le Queux's An Eye for an Eye is a brisk tale of crime, secrecy, and moral retaliation, shaped by the late-Victorian and Edwardian appetite for sensation fiction. The novel turns on hidden motives, social masks, and the troub…ling logic of revenge, using rapid plotting, heightened coincidence, and cliff-hanger suspense to sustain its atmosphere of danger. Its style is direct, cinematic, and investigative, placing it in the popular tradition of detective and mystery fiction that bridged the melodrama of the nineteenth century and the modern thriller. Le Queux was exceptionally well suited to such material. A journalist, traveller, and extraordinarily prolific novelist, he had a keen instinct for public anxieties: espionage, international intrigue, criminal conspiracy, and the fragility of respectable society. His fiction often reflects a reporter's eye for topical fears and a showman's talent for dramatic disclosure, qualities that helped make him one of the most widely read thriller writers of his generation. This book is recommended to readers interested in early crime fiction, Edwardian suspense, and the development of the popular thriller. It offers both entertainment and a revealing glimpse of the era's moral imagination. 132 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -In 'An Eye for an Eye,' William Le Queux deftly intertwines elements of espionage and adventure, crafting a gripping narrative that explores the tension between personal vendetta and the larger political machinations of the early 20th c…entury. Featuring richly drawn characters and a pulsing, fast-paced storyline, Le Queux's prose reflects both the anxieties of a world on the brink of war and the complexities of human motivation. The novel delves into themes of justice, revenge, and morality against the backdrop of a society grappling with the implications of empire and intrigue, making it a noteworthy contribution to the genre of early spy fiction. William Le Queux, a prolific writer and journalist, was profoundly influenced by his travels across Europe and his fascination with international affairs. Emerging as a figure in the pre-World War I literary landscape, Le Queux was able to draw on his experiences and extensive knowledge of espionage to create narratives that resonate with contemporary anxieties about national security and personal liberty. His penchant for melodrama and sensationalism reflects the societal fears of the time, making his work a critical lens through which to view early 20th-century concerns. Readers seeking a captivating blend of intrigue and drama will find 'An Eye for an Eye' an essential read. Le Queux's skillful navigation of psychological depth and action-packed scenarios makes for a compelling experience, pulling the reader into a world where every choice has significant consequences. As both an entertainment and a reflection on the darker impulses of humanity, this novel remains relevant and engrossing.
