Arthur J. Raffles (usually called A. J. Raffles) is a fictional character created in 1898 by E. W. Hornung, brother-in-law of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator of Sherlock Holmes. Raffles is, in many ways, an inversion of Holmes – he is a "gentleman thief", living at the Albany, a prestigious address in London, playing cricket as a gentleman (or "amateur") 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 him and the "professors" – professional criminals from the lower classes.

  • A. (Arthur) J. Raffles ist der Name einer vor allem im englischen Sprachraum populären Romanfigur, die vom englischen Schriftsteller Ernest William Hornung (1866–1921) entwickelt wurde. Hornung, ein Schwager des Sherlock-Holmes-Autors Arthur Conan Doyle, entwickelte die Figur des Raffles ersichtlich nach dem Vorbild des großen Detektivs, aber im Gegensatz dazu als einen nahezu unfehlbaren Gentleman-Einbrecher, der die Reichen bestiehlt, allerdings anders als über ihn hin und wieder beschrieben, nicht wie Robin Hood die Armen beschenkt, sondern sich und seinen Partner Harry "Bunny" Manders, da er sich von der englischen Gesellschaft des 19. Jahrhunderts als ungerecht behandelt empfindet. (de)
  • Arthur J. Raffles (llamado usualmente A.J.Rafles) es un personaje creado en la década de 1890 por E. W. Hornung, cuñado de Arthur Conan Doyle, el creador de Sherlock Holmes. Raffles es, en muchos sentidos, una inversión deliberada de Holmes: es un "caballero ladrón" que vive en Albany, un prestigioso complejo de departamentos en Londres. Juega cricket para los Caballeros de Inglaterra y obtiene recursos para sí mismo realizando robos ingeniosos. Es llamado el "Ladrón aficionado", que marca la diferencia entre él y los "profesores", criminales profesionales de las clases más baja. (es)
  • A. J. Raffles è un personaggio immaginario ideato dallo scrittore nel 1898 per una fortunata serie letteraria proseguita fino al 1909, e composta da 26 racconti, 2 commedie teatrali e un romanzo. Rafflles è il prototipo del ladro gentiluomo; utilizza astuti travestimenti ed è superbo nell'arte del furto, pur mantenendo un'apparenza sofisticata. Raffles ruba soprattutto quando ha bisogno di denaro. La sua figura è stata ripresa in numerosi film e in una serie televisiva. (it)
  • Arthur J. Raffles é um personagem de novelas policiais criado pelo autor britânico E. W. Hornung em volta de 1890. Hornung era cunhado de Sir Arthur Conan Doyle e se inspirou no seu famoso detetive para criar o personagem. Ainda assim Raffles é, de muitas maneiras, o inverso de Sherlock Holmes; ele é um ladrão-cavalheiro, que mora no Albany, uma região de classe alta de Londres. Suas histórias serviram, até certo ponto, de inspiração para Maurice Leblanc criar seu Arsène Lupin. (pt)
