No Thoroughfare (Illustrated Edition)【電子書籍】[ Charles Dickens & Wilkie Collins ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
Charles Dickens needs no formal introduction, having been the most popular English writer of the 19th century and still one of the most popular writers in history today. Dickens upbringing was a mixture of happy times and sad: when he recalled his father being sent to debtors prison in his memoirs, his tears actually left marks on the page. Nevertheless, Dickens was obsessed with reading, making him a natural journalist by the age of 20, when he began a career in journalism. Along the way, he also began writing his own short stories and materials, often serializing them in monthly installments in publications, a popular method of publishing in the 19th century. Unlike most writers, Dickens would not write an entire story before it began its serialization, allowing him to work on the fly and leave plot lines up in the air with each opportunity. By the time he died at the relatively young age of 58 from a stroke, he was already Europes most famous writer. His obituary noted that Dickens was a sympathizer with the poor, the suffering, and the oppressed. Dickens was interred in Westminster Abbey, a rare honor bestowed only among the greatest and most accomplished Britons. Many of Dickens novels were written with the concept of social reform in mind, and Dickens work was often praised for its realism, comic genius and unique personalities. At the same time, however, Dickens ability as a writer was nearly unrivaled, with his ability to write in prose unquestioned and unmatched. This edition of No Thoroughfare is specially formatted with illustrations and a Table of Contents for easier navigation.画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 162円

The Fallen Leaves A Compelling Victorian Tale of Betrayal, Forgiveness, and Redemption【電子書籍】[ Wilkie Collins ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In his novel "The Fallen Leaves," Wilkie Collins weaves a complex narrative that explores themes of social injustice, gender roles, and moral ambiguity through a blend of realism and melodrama. Set against the backdrop of Victorian England, the novel employs a fragmented structure and varying perspectives, which invites readers to interrogate the reliability of the narrator and the societal norms of the time. Collins's characteristic wit and vivid characterization breathe life into the intricate plot, where the intersecting lives of the protagonist and a cast of supporting characters unfold against a tapestry of urban existence, making it both a gripping tale and a keen social commentary. Wilkie Collins, a contemporary of Charles Dickens, was a pioneer of the detective novel and a staunch advocate for social reform. His own experiences with societal norms and personal relationships profoundly influenced his writing. Often overshadowed by his more famous peers, Collins'??s exploration of the darker sides of human nature and critiques of social hypocrisy reflect his keen observations of Victorian society, particularly concerning issues like women's rights and class disparity. I highly recommend "The Fallen Leaves" for readers seeking a rich narrative infused with deep social observations and a masterful blend of literary styles. Collins'??s work remains relevant today as it continues to provoke thought and discussion about the very social issues he critiqued, making it a timeless piece worth every moment of engagement.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 150円

Stories By English Authors: France (Selected by Scribners)【電子書籍】[ Wilkie Collins et al. ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The cemetery of St. John had taken its own share of the snow. All the graves were decently covered; tall white housetops stood around in grave array; worthy burghers were long ago in bed, be-nightcapped like their domiciles; there was no light in all the neighbourhood but a little peep from a lamp that hung swinging in the church choir, and tossed the shadows to and fro in time to its oscillations. The clock was hard on ten when the patrol went by with halberds and a lantern, beating their hands; and they saw nothing suspicious about the cemetery of St. John.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 162円

La Legge e la Signora【電子書籍】[ Wilkie Collins ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>La Legge e la Signora, opera della maturit? di Wilkie Collins, oltre a presentare diversi elementi della moderna letteratura di genere, ? il primo esempio di romanzo poliziesco che ha per protagonista un investigatore donna. La vita matrimoniale di Valeria ed Eustace Woodville inizia sotto cattivi auspici. Un piccolo incidente durante la celebrazione del rito sembra confermare il clima di diffidenza e sospetto che lo ha accompagnato e che cresce ulteriormente quando, durante la luna di miele a Ramsgate, la donna viene a sapere che il vero cognome del marito ? Macallan. Tornata a Londra, decisa ad andare fino in fondo, scopre che anni addietro Eustace ? stato accusato di aver avvelenato la prima moglie ed ? stato assolto per insufficienza di prove. Per salvaguardare il suo matrimonio, Valeria s’improvvisa detective: ? convinta dell’innocenza del marito e determinata a ristabilire la verit?. Si trover? cos? ad affrontare problemi ritenuti “inadatti a una donna”, riuscendo a venirne a capo e dimostrando la fondatezza delle proprie azioni, che tutti stigmatizzavano come folli e avventate. Strepitoso ritratto di una donna che non esita a opporsi ai modelli e alle regole della societ? vittoriana, La Legge e la Signora ? una narrazione coinvolgente e di grande fascino da leggere ? come ogni romanzo di Collins ? tutto d’un fiato. ≪I romanzoni di Wilkie Collins sono viaggi irresistibili: agganciano subito il lettore, che quando parte non riesce pi? a fermarsi≫ Leonetta Bentivoglio ≪Wilkie Collins ? famoso, nei manuali di letteratura, per avere scritto nel 1868 il primo giallo. Ma non eccelle solo nella suspense. ? anche uno scrittore di sentimenti. Ed eccelle nella pittura dei personaggi≫.

The Law and the Lady【電子書籍】[ Wilkie Collins ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Valeria Woodville's first act as a married woman is to sign her name in the marriage register incorrectly, and this slip is followed by the gradual disclosure of a series of secrets about her husband's earlier life, each of which leads on to another set of questions and enigmas. Her discoveries prompt her to defy her husband's authority, to take the law into into a labyrinthine maze of false clues and deceptive identities, in which the exploration of the tangled workings of the mind becomes linked to an investigation into the masquerades of femininity. Probably the first full-length novel with a woman detective as its heroine, The Law and the Lady is a fascinating example of Collins's later fiction. First published in 1875, it employs many of the techniques used in The Moonstone, developing them in bizarre and unexpected ways, and in its Gothic and fantastic elements The Law and the Lady adds a significant dimension to the history of detective fiction.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 171円

The Moonstone【電子書籍】[ Wilkie Collins ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The Moonstone (1868) by Wilkie Collins is a 19th-century British epistolary novel. Rachel Verinder, a young English woman, inherits a large Indian diamond on her eighteenth birthday. It is a legacy from her uncle, a corrupt British army officer who served in India. The diamond is of great religious significance and extremely valuable, and three Hindu priests have dedicated their lives to recovering it. The story incorporates elements of the legendary origins of the Hope Diamond (or perhaps the Orloff Diamond or the Koh-i-Noor diamond). Rachel's eighteenth birthday is celebrated with a large party at which the guests include her cousin Franklin Blake. She wears the Moonstone on her dress that evening for all to see, including some Indian jugglers who have called at the house. Later that night the diamond is stolen from Rachel's bedroom, and a period of turmoil, unhappiness, misunderstandings and ill luck ensues. Told by a series of narratives from some of the main characters, the complex plot traces the subsequent efforts to explain the theft, identify the thief, trace the stone and recover it. The Moonstone is generally considered to be the first detective novel, and it established many of the ground rules of the modern detective novel. The story was originally serialised in Charles Dickens's magazine All the Year Round.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 146円

Mr. Percy and the Prophet ('Percy and the Prophet')【電子書籍】[ Wilkie Collins ]

<p>This early work by Wilkie Collins was originally published in 1877. Born in Marylebone, London in 1824, Collins' family enrolled him at the Maida Hill Academy in 1835, but then took him to France and Italy with them between 1836 and 1838. Returning to England, Collins attended Cole's boarding school, and completed his education in 1841, after which he was apprenticed to the tea merchants Antrobus & Co. in the Strand. In 1846, Collins became a law student at Lincoln's Inn, and was called to the bar in 1851, although he never practiced. It was in 1848, a year after the death of his father, that he published his first book, The Memoirs of the Life of William Collins, Esq., R.A., to good reviews. The 1860s saw Collins' creative high-point, and it was during this decade that he achieved fame and critical acclaim, with his four major novels, The Woman in White (1860), No Name (1862), Armadale (1866) and The Moonstone (1868). The Moonstone, meanwhile is seen by many as the first true detective novel - T. S. Eliot called it "the first, the longest, and the best of modern English detective novels...in a genre invented by Collins and not by Poe." Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900's and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive.

A Rogue's Life【電子書籍】[ Wilkie Collins ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Scion of a well-connected but impoverished family, Frank Softly may be the most audacious, outrageous, engaging, and thoroughly lovestruck young man in Regency London. By the age of 25, he's been in and out of doctoring, caricaturing, forging Old Masters, and counterfeiting half-crowns. Now a maliciously conceived will ties the loveable rascal's fortunes to those of his doddering grandmother and miserly brother-in-law. The ensuing scheme brings Frank up against a worthy adversary, the sinister Dr. Dulcifer, a conductor of secret experiments who also happens to be the father of a highly attractive young woman.<br /> Ranging from the British Isles to Australia, Frank's picaresque adventures enable Wilkie Collins to take a good-natured poke at a host of ready targets, including pretentious art collectors, puritanical English society, and stuffy self-improvement groups. Written with a light touch and charming sense of humor, <em>A Rogue's Life</em> offers a delightful diversion.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 589円

Her malicious intrigues fuel the plot of this gripping melodrama: a tale of confused identities, inherited curses, romantic rivalries, espionage, money - and murder. The character of Lydia Gwilt horrified contemporary critics, with one reviewer describing her as 'One of the most hardened female villains whose devices and desires have ever blackened fiction'. She remains among the most enigmatic and fascinating women in nineteenth-century literature and the dark heart of this most sensational of Victorian 'sensation novels'.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,586円

The Moonstone【電子書籍】[ Wilkie Collins ]

<p>"I'm sick to death of novels with an earnest purpose. I'm sick to death of outbursts of eloquence, and large-minded philanthropy, and graphic descriptions, and unsparing anatomy of the human heart, and all that sort of thing. Good gracious me ! Isn't it the original intention or purpose, or whatever you call it, of a work of fiction, to set out distinctly by telling a story? And how many of these books, I should like to know, do that? Why, so far as telling a story is concerned, the greater part of them might as well be sermons as novels. Oh, dear me! what I want is something that seizes hold of my interest, and makes me forget when it is time to dress for dinnerーsomething that keeps me reading, reading, reading, in a breathless state, to find out the end." Wilkie Collins' confession of faith as a novelist is comprised in the above speech of his sprightly heroine, Miss Jessie Yelverton, in 'The Queen of Hearts'. He is emphatically a story-writer. He is unrivaled in the construction of an elaborate and intricate plot, and he certainly succeeds in making his readers "go on reading, reading, reading, in a breathless state, to find out the end." Wilkie Collins' career has been a progressive one. There are some ardent novel readers who will doubtless remember the publication of 'Antonina', and a few years later of 'Basil' ? two books of singular power. Soon after Mr. Dickens commenced the publication of Household Words, there appeared in that periodical a number of short stories which were remarkable for the perfection of their style, the elaboration and originality of their plots and their general artistic finish. Then came a novel, 'The Dead Secret', also published in Household Words, in which the wonderful skill of the author in con structing and unfolding a plot was for the first time fully displayed. The 'Woman in White followed', and the claims of Wilkie Collins to be considered a great novelist were at once firmly established. He is, however, no mere weaver of intricate plotsーno teller of elaborately constructed stories only. Few characters in modern fiction are as well drawn and sustained as that of Count Fosco, the cool, sensible, intellectual villain in 'The Woman in White.' Collins also possesses, in common with Anthony Trollope, the power of delineating a heroine who shall be neither a dressed-up doll nor an impossible angel. Rachel Verinder in 'The Moonstone' bears witness to the truth of this assertion. This novel is the best that Mr. Collins has given to the world and possibly the best he has ever written. The story is singularly original; and when we remember the force and extent of Hindoo superstition, we can scarcely venture to pronounce it improbable. And how admirably is the story told! Clear, lucid and forcible in style, never straying into the alluring but pernicious paths of description or dissertation, the narrative moves onward in its unbroken and entrancing course. Let the impatient reader, hurrying to reach the d?nouement, skip half a dozen pages. Instantly the thread of the story is broken, the tale becomes incomprehensible, the incidents lose their coherence. 'The Moonstone' is a perfect work of art, and to remove any portion of the cunningly constructed fabric destroys the completeness and beauty of the whole.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 330円

The Woman in White【電子書籍】[ Wilkie Collins ]

<p>The Woman in White is an epistolary novel written by Wilkie Collins in 1859, serialized in 1859?1860, and first published in book form in 1860. It is considered to be among the first mystery novels and is widely regarded as one of the first (and finest) in the genre of 'sensation novels'.</p> <p>As was customary at that time, The Woman in White was first published as a magazine serial. The first episode appeared on 29 November 1859, following Charles Dickens's own A Tale of Two Cities in Dickens's magazine All the Year Round in England, and Harper's Magazine in America. It caused an immediate sensation. Julian Symons (in his 1974 introduction to the Penguin edition) reports that "queues formed outside the offices to buy the next instalment. Bonnets, perfumes, waltzes and quadrilles were called by the book's title. Gladstone cancelled a theatre engagement to go on reading it. And Prince Albert sent a copy to Baron Stockmar."</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 163円
