The novels of Wilkie Collins (1824–1889), which became a literary sensation during the Victorian era, remain must-reads for lovers of detective stories, mystery novels, classics, and simply good prose.
Wilkie Collins was a masterful architect of intricate plot labyrinths and a keen observer of human nature. The best example of this is undoubtedly his most famous novel, The Moonstone. Published in 1868, it proved not only to be the pinnacle of its author's work but also a priceless gem in the treasury of world literature of all time. Captivating its contemporaries with its intricate plot twists and sudden turns, today The Moonstone also offers the opportunity to immerse oneself in the world of Victorian England, with its mores and customs—and, of course, to savor the author's brilliant literary mastery.
For many years, this landmark work remained published in Russian in incomplete translations. This edition invites readers to discover it anew in a brilliant new translation by Alexander Livergant.
The second work included in the collection, "When Night Falls," is a superb example of Collins's multifaceted talent: six captivating and enigmatic stories that together form a meditation on an eternal theme: where is the line between predestination and personal choice, and which of them guides our destiny?
The book is adorned with classic illustrations from the 1900 edition.
