Summary "Lord Lister No. 0001: De Groote Onbekende" by Kurt Matull and Theo von Blankensee is a fictional novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the infamous character John Raffles, a clever and elusive thief, within the bustling streets of London. The narrative introduces Raffles as he cunningly outsmarts various charlatans, including a wealthy bank manager named James Gordon and noblemen like Lord Lister. The opening portion of the novel sets the stage with Mr. Lukas Brown, a wealthy silk importer, who becomes increasingly anxious about the notorious Raffles, who has recently committed a major jewel heist. As Brown dismisses his assistant’s grudging admiration for Raffles, the plot swiftly unfolds when a fresh employee, Miss Walton, finds herself in a precarious situation with Brown. A mysterious stranger intervenes, saving her just as the narrative connects to Raffles, who is portrayed as both a criminal mastermind and a gentleman with a strange sense of morality. The opening establishes complex character dynamics and hints at Raffles's future escapades, foreshadowing a thrilling tale of deception and intrigue. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
