Lord Lister No. 0017: De gestrafte Don Juan by Kurt Matull and Theo von Blankensee
"Lord Lister No. 0017: De gestrafte Don Juan" by Kurt Matull and Theo von Blankensee is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the enigmatic character Lord Rochester, a wealthy aristocrat entangled in a web of deceit, seduction, and moral downfall, particularly in his interactions with the beautiful but troubled shopgirl, Mary Green. The narrative explores themes of virtue, crime, and the stark contrasts between appearance and
reality in society, focusing on characters who grapple with their desires and ethical choices. The opening of the novel introduces a scene in the bustling streets of London, where a young girl, Mary Green, is harassed by a lecherous man. Just as she cries out for help, an old man comes to her aid, revealing himself to be a nobleman, Lord Edward Rochester, who is secretly involved in charitable work while simultaneously indulging in immoral acts. Following this encounter, the plot thickens as Rochester receives a threatening letter from the notorious thief John C. Raffles, informing him of a planned robbery. This blend of intrigue sets the stage for a deeper exploration of Lord Rochester’s character and the unfolding drama involving love, betrayal, and the consequences of one's actions.
