No Hero is a novel written by E. W. Hornung, first published in 1899. The book follows the story of A. J. Raffles, a gentleman thief who is also a cricket player. Raffles is a charismatic and daring character who uses his wit and cunning to steal from the wealthy upper class of London. The novel is set in the late Victorian era and explores themes of class, morality, and the thrill of adventure. Raffles' escapades are narrated by his close friend and accomplice, Bunny Manders, who is both fascinated and horrified by Raffles' criminal exploits. The novel is a classic example of the gentleman thief genre and has been adapted into several films, television series, and stage plays over the years. No Hero is a thrilling and entertaining read for anyone interested in crime fiction, Victorian literature, or the history of London's criminal underworld.What, the Matterhorn? said he, lowering his voice and looking about him as if on the point of some discreditable admission. Oh, yes, I've done the Matterhorn, back and front and both sides, with and without guides; but everybody has, in these days. It's nothing when you know the ropes and chains and things. They've got everything up there now except an iron staircase. Still, I should be sorry to tackle it to-day, even if they had a lift!This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
