Produktbeschreibung
The Czar's Spy is an international espionage and intrigue story that was published in 1905 by the English/French novelist William Le Queux. This story takes the reader on a slalom journey across Italy, England, Finland, and Russia before returning to Italy. The goal of this expedition is to solve a mystery, but instead of providing sought-after answers, it simply raises additional questions and causes unclear events. The protagonist of the novel discovers a ripped photo of a stunning woman, falls in love with this unfortunate victim of circumstance, and sacrifices everything to save her. Love, murder, treachery, and mystery are all elements of the plot. The First World War's impending international unrest and hostility are foretold in the novel fairly accurately. It is also an accurate depiction of the early 20th century's deteriorating morality, as well as the collapse of the central pillar that formerly held together all of life's principles. Money replaced family as the most essential thing, power replaced dignity, and a little girl could now compete with world leaders!
Autorenporträt
Anglo-French journalist and author William Tufnell Le Queux was born on July 2, 1864, and died on October 13, 1927. He was also a diplomat (honorary consul for San Marino), a traveler (in Europe, the Balkans, and North Africa), a fan of flying (he presided over the first British air meeting at Doncaster in 1909), and a wireless pioneer who played music on his own station long before radio was widely available. However, he often exaggerated his own skills and accomplishments. The Great War in England in 1897 (1894), a fantasy about an invasion by France and Russia, and The Invasion of 1910 (1906), a fantasy about an invasion by Germany, are his best-known works. Le Queux was born in the city. The man who raised him was English, and his father was French. He went to school in Europe and learned art in Paris from Ignazio (or Ignace) Spiridon. As a young man, he walked across Europe and then made a living by writing for French newspapers. He moved back to London in the late 1880s and managed the magazines Gossip and Piccadilly. In 1891, he became a parliamentary reporter for The Globe. He stopped working as a reporter in 1893 to focus on writing and traveling.
