The Amateur Cracksman
Author: Ernest William Hornung
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1387148559
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 136
Book Description
Arthur J. Raffles is a character created in the 1890s by E. W. Hornung, brother-in-law to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator of Sherlock Holmes. Raffles is, in many ways, a deliberate inversion of Holmes - he is a ""gentleman thief,"" living at the Albany, a prestigious address in London, playing cricket for the Gentlemen of England and supporting himself by carrying out ingenious burglaries. He is called the ""Amateur Cracksman,"" and often, at first, differentiates between himself and the ""professors"" - professional criminals from the lower classes. As Holmes has Dr. Watson to chronicle his adventures, Raffles has Harry ""Bunny"" Manders - a former schoolmate saved from disgrace and suicide by Raffles, whom Raffles persuaded to accompany him on a burglary. While Raffles often takes advantage of Manders' relative innocence, and sometimes treats him with a certain amount of contempt, he knows that Manders' bravery and loyalty are to be relied on utterly.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Amateur Gentleman John Barty, ex-champion of England and landlord of the "Coursing Hound," sat screwed round in his chair with his eyes yet turned to the door that had closed after the departing lawyer fully five minutes ago, and his eyes were wide and blank, and his mouth (grim and close-lipped as a rule) gaped, becoming aware of which, he closed it with a snap, and passed a great knotted fist across his brow. "Barnabas," said he slowly, "I beant asleep an' dreaming be I, Barnabas?" "No, father!" "But - seven - 'undred - thousand - pound. It were seven - 'undred thousand pound, were n't it, Barnabas?" "Yes, father!" "Seven - 'undred - thou - ! No! I can't believe it, Barnabas my bye." "Neither can I, father," said Barnabas, still staring down at the papers which littered the table before him. "Nor I are n't a-going to try to believe it, Barnabas." "And yet - here it is, all written down in black and white, and you heard what Mr. Crabtree said?" "Ah, - I heered, but arter all Crabtree's only a lawyer - though a good un as lawyers go, always been honest an' square wi' me - leastways I've never caught him trying to bamboozle John Barty yet - an' what the eye don't ob-serve the heart don't grieve, Barnabas my bye, an there y' are.

The Gentleman Boxer
Author: Ion Grumeza
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1477257926
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 276
Book Description
And the winner is...JOE GRIMM! He scored 24 KOs in a row and was never knocked out. He was a winner in the ring, and a winner in life. This is the story of a bantam boxer, his chaperoning older brother, and the time in which they lived. It is the 1920s, and there are boxing clubs in nearly every city in America. Joe Grimm weighs 118 pounds and is flat-footed—but he has a punch and a KO record that draw leading managers to add Joe to their stables. He trains in the same gym as Jim Braddock, the future Cinderella Man. Joe’s awesome winning streak is interrupted when he and his brother are called home. He leaves the arenas with their cheering crowds and works as a butcher in his grocery shop bought with ring money for his family. Now the character traits that made him a boxing wonder make him a success in business. The Gentleman Boxer captures the excitement and hope of an era when anything was possible and anyone could become a hero—or a champion. It is a tribute to the thousands of forgotten bantam prizefighters in the Golden Age of Boxing.
