| Summary |
"Lord Lister No. 0116: Een drama uit de groote wereld" by Blankensee and Matull is a fictional novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story centers around Lord Lister, also known as John C. Raffles, a mysterious figure who immerses himself in the affairs of the elite, particularly concerning the circumstances surrounding the new Duchess of Silverton. Themes of wealth, deception, and social standing are prominent as the characters navigate their complex relationships and hidden motivations. The opening of the novel introduces Lord Lister as he is in a conversation with his friend and secretary, Charly Brand. They discuss a recent fortune that Charly has inherited, which sets the stage for their travels back to London. As they prepare for their journey, Charly excitedly recounts a humorous story about his late uncle's past, hinting at the absurdity and charm that can arise from their genteel society. In this initial exchange, a portrait of the characters and their social environment begins to emerge, filled with intrigue, wit, and the anticipation of the events that will unfold in the world of the great and wealthy.
