COLLINS, WILKIE / WILKIE COLLINS
The woman in white first appears at night on a lonely heath near London and is next seen at a grave-side in Cumberland. Who is she? Where has she come from, and what is her history? She seems alone and friendless, frightened and confused. And it seems she knows a secret - a secret that could bring ruin and shame to a man who will do anything to keep her silent. This famous mystery thriller by Wilkie Collins has excitement, suspense, romance, and a plot that twists and turns on every page.
Wilkie Collins (1824-1889) Londresen jaio eta bertan bizi izan zen ia bizitza osoan. 1851n, Charles Dickens ezagutu zuen, antzerkirako zaletasunak elkarturik. Handik aurrera, Collins eta Dickens lagun handiak egin ziren, eta elkarlanean aritu ziren. Collins oso idazle oparoa izan zen, eta arrakasta handikoa. Hogeita sei urterekin argiraratu zuen bere fikziozko lehen lana, Antonina or the Fall of Rome, eta 1860ko hamaraldian idatzi zituen bere lanik on eta ezagunnenak: The woman in white eta Ilargi-harria. Azkeneko hori izan zen, hain zuzen, Collinsek erreskadan idatzitako laugarren 'best-sellerra'
