A thought-provoking novel by E. Phillips Oppenheim, โA Prince of Sinnersโ is set against the backdrop of a rapidly changing Britain. Unemployment and poverty are rampant, and the book explores whether one personโs charity and philanthropy can really make a difference. Elements of romance and forgiveness also feature, combining to make this a fascinating and provocative tale from the popular author. E. Phillips Oppenheim (1866-1946) was a hugely prolific and highly popular British author of novels and short stories. Born in Tottenham, London, Oppenheim left school as a teenager and worked for his leather-merchant father for 20 years prior to launching his literary career. Oppenheim published five novels under the pseudonym โAnthony Partridgeโ before establishing his reputation as a writer under his own name. An internationally successful author, Oppenheimโs stories revolved mainly around glamourous characters, luxurious settings, and themes of espionage, suspense, and crime. He is widely regarded as one of the earliest pioneers of the thriller and spy-fiction genre as it is recognised today. Oppenheimโs incredible literary success meant that his own life soon began to mirror that of his opulent characters. He held lavish, Gatsby-style parties at his French Villa and was rumoured to have had frequent love affairs aboard his luxury yacht. Oppenheimโs success earned him the cover of Time magazine in 1927. Some of his most well-known novels include โThe Great Impersonationโ, โThe Long Arm of Mannisterโ and โThe Moving Fingerโ.
