Beschreibung
Beloved author Emil Hruška once again tackles real criminal cases in his new book Retrokrimi, this time from the years 1883–1961. Some of them lived vibrant lives on the pages of newspapers in their time, while others were hidden from the public. What was Hugo Schenk like, the robbery murderer who enchanted many servant girls with his romantic literary spirit? Who was the biggest con artist of the First Czechoslovak Republic, about whom no one was allowed to speak? Were those convicted in the murder case on the farm truly guilty, or did justice fail here? How did the murderer almost escape punishment for a serious crime by pretending to have a mental disorder? The author, as in his previous books, frames the criminal cases within the social contexts of the time and puts them in the context of criminal and legal theory. He thus creates a remarkable text that is not only a captivating story but also a testament to the atmosphere of the era and the conditions of contemporary criminology.
