(P/B) BASIL
Εκδότης: OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3145-1655

In Basil's secret and unconsummated marriage to the linen-draper's sexually precocious daughter, and the shocking betrayal, insanity, and death that follow, Collins reveals the bustling, commercial London of the nineteenth century wreaking its vengeance on a still powerful aristocratic world. Contemporary reviewers vehemently disapproved of this explicit treatment of adultery; and even today the passionate and lurid atmosphere he creates still has the power to disturb the reader. (From the publisher)...

THE MOONSTONE
Εκδότης: BROADVIEW PRESS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0735-0036

Intrigue, investigations, thievery, drugs and murder all make an appearance in Collins's classic who-done-it, The Moonstone. Published in serial form in 1868, it was inspired in part by a spectacular murder case widely reported in the early 1860s. Collins's story revolves around a diamond stolen from a Hindu holy place. On her eighteenth birthday, Rachel Verinder receives the diamond, but by the following morning the stone has been stolen again. As the story unravels through multiple eyewitness accounts, the elderly Sergeant Cuff - with...

(P/B) MISS OR MRS? - THE HAUNTED HOTEL - THE GUILTY RIVER
Εκδότης: OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3145-1656

Collins's ability to construct a gripping situation and to create an atmosphere of mystery and menace is fully evident in the three novellas reprinted here. All proceed through a series of dramatic scenes to a climax that in one case at least is literally explosive. The fast-paced Miss or Mrs? (1871) opens on a yacht, features a remarkably unconventional heroine, and entails murder attempts, blackmail, clandestine marriage and commercial fraud. Dramatic and psychologically absorbing, the action of The Haunted Hotel (1878) takes place in an...

(P/B) HEART AND SCIENCE
A STORY OF THE PRESENT TIME
Εκδότης: BROADVIEW PRESS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0735-0037

Wilkie Collins's later novels are often as concerned with social issues as they are with simple storytelling - but as more and more critics are suggesting, the best of them are as readable and thought-provoking today as they were when they first appeared. Of none is this more true than of his 1883 novel Heart and Science, which Collins himself placed alongside his masterpiece The Woman in White. Heart and Science turns on the fate of the orphaned Carmina Graywell, who is left in the charge of her aunt and guardian Mrs. Gallilee when her ...

(H/B) THE MOONSTONE
Εκδότης: CRW PUBLISHING
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3874-0109

The Moonstone is a magnificent yellow diamond, 'large as a plover's egg', with a bloody history, which has been stolen from the home of Lady Verinder. An innocent man is accused of the crime. From this simple beginning Wilkie Collins creates a stunning, complex narrative of dark mystery, suspense and atmosphere. It is one of the cornerstones in the development of crime fiction. The poet and critic T.S. Eliot declared that it was 'the first, the longest and the best of modern English detective novels'. But The Moonstone, which has fascinate...

(P/B) THE EVIL GENIUS
Εκδότης: BROADVIEW PRESS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0735-0038

Wilkie Collins is best known for his great mystery The Moonstone and The Woman in White - and for a life as sensational as are those novels. (The writer who famously advised other novelists to 'make 'em laugh, make 'em cry, make 'em wait' is now known to have kept entire households in different parts of England going simultaneously.) Yet Collins also wrote a succession of extraordinarily powerful novels of private life; of these The Evil Genius is among the finest. The story is motivates by the attraction between Herbert Linley and the ...

(P/B) BLIND LOVE
Εκδότης: BROADVIEW PRESS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0735-0039

Blind Love is Wilkie Collins's final novel. Although he did not live to complete the work, he left detailed plans for the last third of this absorbingly plotted novel which were faithfully executed by his colleague, the popular author Walter Besant. The novel is set during the Irish Land War of the early 1880s and tells the story of Iris Henley, an independent young woman who marries the "wild" Lord Harry Norland, a member of an Irish secret society, and becomes unhappily drawn into a conspiracy plot. The Broadview edition of Blind Love i...

(P/B) THE LAZY TOUR OF THE TWO IDLE APPRENTICES
Εκδότης: HESPERUS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0957-0158

In autumn 1857, Charles Dickens embarked on a sightseeing trip to Cumberland with his friend, the rising star of literature Wilkie Collins. Writing together, they reported their adventures for Dickens' periodical Household Words, producing a meditation on the pleasures of bachelor bonding and an example of collaborative journalism at its best. The Lazy Tour of the Two Idle Apprentices showcases both long-cherished and entirely novel sides of these well-loved men of letters. (From the publisher)...

Η ΓΥΝΑΙΚΑ ΜΕ ΤΑ ΑΣΠΡΑ
Εκδότης: ΗΛΕΚΤΡΑ
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 1831-0076

"Η Γυναίκα με τα Άσπρα" ανήκει στη συγκινησιακή λογοτεχνία, έναν ευρείας απήχησης κλάδο της βικτοριανής μυθιστοριογραφίας, ο οποίος συνδύασε τις συγκινήσεις της μεσαιωνικής λογοτεχνίας με τον ψυχολογικό ρεαλισμό της σύγχρονης θεματογραφίας.

ΤΑ ΠΑΓΩΜΕΝΑ ΒΑΘΗ
Εκδότης: ΠΟΝΤΙΚΙ
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3550-0094

Ο Κόλλινς εμπνεύστηκε τα "Παγωμένα Βάθη" από την αποτυχημένη αποστολή του Φράνκλιν, το 1845, για την ανακάλυψη του βορειοδυτικού περάσματος της Αρκτικής και αρχικά τα έγραψε σε μορφή θεατρικού έργου. Το έργο διασκευάστηκε από τον Ντίκενς και παίχτηκε για πρώτη φορά τον Ιανουάριο του 1857 από το θίασο του Ντίκενς, με τον Κόλλινς και τον Ντίκενς στους πρωταγωνιστικούς ρόλους του Φράνσις Άλντερσλι και Ρίτσαρντ Ουάρντορ αντιστοίχως. Εμπνευσμένος από την ιδέα του ερωτευμένου που αυτοθυσιάζεται, ο Ντίκενς δημιούργησε το Σίντνεϊ Κάρτον, ήρωα του ...

(P/B) WHO KILLED ZEBEDEE?
Εκδότης: HESPERUS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0957-0058

London, circa 1880: a lovelorn policeman, a pocket knife and the unsolved crime of a young husband, murdered on his honeymoon. Narrated as the deathbed confession of a London policeman, Who Killed Zebedee? exposes the seamier side of Victorian Britain: a realm of cheap hotels, under-paid servants and desperate measures. With a policeman as his narrator, and a female cook as the detective's accomplice, Collins places the world of lower-middle class England at the centre of his fiction. The accompanying tale, John Jago's Ghost, set in Americ...
