Synopsis "La Mujer de Blanco (in Spanish)"

Amigo y colaborador de Dickens, Wilkie Collins (1824-1889) alcanzó gran fama por sus novelas, con las que contribuyó a la creación del género detectivesco y logró altísimas cotas de calidad en la urdimbre de las tramas novelescas. En "La mujer de blanco" (novela cargada de misterio, reflejo de los claroscuros de la era victoriana y de lectura compulsiva) se teje una intriga irresistible que irán relatando varios de sus protagonistas, entre los que destacan la enérgica y perspicaz Marian Halcombe y el extravagante y muy maquiavélico conde Fosco. Otras obras de Wilkie Collins en Alianza Editorial: "La Piedra Lunar".

(London 1824-1889) Playwright, novelist, and prolific short story writer. At 17, he started working at a tea trading company while writing Ioláni, or Tahiti as it was (Gothic no. 32), a work that was not published until over a century after his death. He studied Law and, although he never practiced, he did use his legal knowledge in many of his works, and critics consider him one of the fathers of the detective genre. In 1851, he met Charles Dickens, with whom he formed a deep friendship and published his main works in his weekly All the Year Around. After Dickens' death in 1870, his popularity waned. He suffered from rheumatic gout which eventually led to an opium addiction. His tombstone epitaph highlights him as the author of the novel The Woman in White.
