作者簡介
商品簡介
The Moonstone was published in 1868 and concerns the huge yellow diamond of the title that was once stolen from an Indian shrine. Rachel Verrinder receives the stone as a gift and does not realize that it has been passed to her in a sinister form of revenge by John Herncastle who, it transpires, acquired the moonstone by means of murder and theft. The jewel also brings bad luck. The stone disappears on the very night it is given to Rachel, though, and the tale concerns the unveiling of the culprit after the intervention of Sergeant Cuff, a famous London detective. A maid who is under suspicion commits suicide and Rachel herself seems reticent when it comes to aiding the investigation. Mysterious Indians appear frequently and there is an air of confusion and the unknown until the mystery is eventually solved.
作者簡介
William Wilkie Collins (1824-?89) was born in London. He was educated for the law, but instead became a writer, achieving great popularity with such novels as The Woman in White (1860), No Name (1862), Armadale (1866), and his masterpiece, The Moonstone (1868). His life, both personal and professional, was profoundly affected by his friendship with Charles Dickens, who helped guide and ardently championed Collins’s writing, and whose work in turn was stimulated by Collins’s use of mystery and suspense. Though increasingly handicapped by a painful disease and by dependence on opiates used for relief, Collins continued to produce novels until three years before his death.
