| Summary | "Lord Lister No. 0373: De krankzinnige" by Matull, Blankensee, and Hageman is a fictional novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Edward Lark, an aged and poverty-stricken man, who collapses outside a theater in London, attracting the attention of Lord Aberdeen, a wealthy philanthropist who is secretly the infamous Gentleman Burglar, John Raffles. The narrative hints at themes of social disparity, compassion, and the mysterious past of Lark’s family, particularly as it touches upon the tragic fate of his daughter, Nelly, who is suffering from insanity. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to a bustling London evening, leading to Edwin Lark's distressing collapse amidst the autumn chill. Raffles, intrigued by Lark’s plight, rushes to help him, revealing a layered story that intertwines their lives. Lark’s background is quickly explored, disclosing his struggles post-war, his daughter’s mental illness, and a sinister secret that connects to Lark's son-in-law, who has seemingly vanished after the war. This opening sets the tone for a narrative rich in character development, societal critique, and suspense, inviting readers into a complex web of human suffering and hidden truths waiting to be uncovered.
