Аннотация
Dickens''s final novel, left unfinished at his death,
is a tale of mystery whose fast-paced action takes
place in an ancient cathedral city and in some of the
darkest places in nineteenth century London. Drugs,
sexual obsession, colonial adventuring and puzzles
about identity are among the novel''s themes. At the
centre of the plot lie the baffling disappearance of
Edwin Drood and the many explanations of his
whereabouts. A sombre and menacing atmosphere, a
fascinating range of characters and Dickens''s usual
superb command of language combine to make this an
exciting and tantalising story. Also included in this
volume are a number of unjustly neglected stories and
sketches, with subjects as different as murder and
guilt and childhood romance. This unusual selection
illustrates Dickens''s immense creativity and
versatility.
