Beschreibung

The book "A Rogue's Life" is a heart-warming mystery and detective fiction. Frank Softly, the protagonist of the story, narrates the account of his unique and daring life. The son of a well-respected merchant, Frank, decides to adopt a more roguish lifestyle after becoming disillusioned with society as a whole. As Frank moves through the social strata, his story leads readers through a number of interactions, adventures, and mishaps. He interacts with a wide range of people, including actors, nobles, and criminals. A recurrent subject in the book is disguise and deception, as Frank takes on many personas to get around the social mores. The somewhat sarcastic narrative style of "A Rogue's Life" offers a commentary on social traditions and the difficulties faced by those who attempt to defy them. Frank's account of his events is filled with wit, humour, and societal criticism.

Über den/die AutorIn

William Wilkie Collins (1824 - 1889) was an English novelist, playwright and short story writer. His best-known works are The Woman in White (1859), No Name (1862), Armadale (1866) and The Moonstone (1868). The last is considered the first modern English detective novel.Born into the family of painter William Collins in London, he lived with his family in Italy and France as a child and learned French and Italian. After his first novel, Antonina, was published in 1850, he met Charles Dickens, who became a close friend, mentor and collaborator. Some of Collins's works were first published in Dickens' journals All the Year Round and Household Words and the two collaborated on drama and fiction.Collins was critical of the institution of marriage and never married; he split his time between Caroline Graves, except for a two-year separation, and his common-law wife Martha Rudd, with whom he had three children.
