Portrait of Wilkie Collins

Wilkie Collins, a master of Victorian sensation fiction, transformed the nineteenth‑century novel with his deft blend of mystery, social realism, and psychological depth. Best known for pioneering detective narratives such as *The Woman in White* and *The Moonstone*, his work probes the boundaries between respectability and transgression, exposing the hidden tensions of domestic life and the moral ambiguities of his age.

Collins's storytelling remains as compelling to modern readers as it was to his contemporaries. His intricate plots, vivid characterisation, and sharp commentary on class and gender ensure that each tale offers both suspense and insight. Whether rediscovering a classic or exploring a lesser‑known gem, readers step into a world where every secret has consequence and every revelation reshapes the truth.

    Book SynopsisLa historia de amor entre dos jóvenes es el telón de fondo que el genio de Wilkie Collins utiliza en Corazón y ciencia para dar voz a su ataque contra la vivisección. El joven doctor Ovid Vere, el día antes de marcharse al extranjero, donde tiene que ir para recuperar su afectada salud, se topa casualmente, en una calle de Londres, con una atractiva mujer de la que se enamora a primera vista y que lo conduce a un concierto donde ella se desmaya. Después de ayudarla, en calidad de médico, descubre que se trata de Carmina Graywell, la prima hermana que, después de quedarse huérfana, había viajado de Italia a Inglaterra para ser educada por la madre del mismo Ovid (que persigue la herencia de su sobrina...).Una de sus últimas y más controvertidas novelas, que el mismo Collins situaba al lado de La dama de blanco como una de sus obras más logradas, Corazón y ciencia, a través de una narración bien estructurada, llena de intriga e ironía, y en la que aparecen personajes oscuros, como el doctor Benjulia ?representante de la ciencia y de los excesos a la que esta puede llevar?, es algo más que una crítica vivaz e inteligente a la vivisección de animales, tema de enconado debate a finales del siglo XIX en la sociedad victoriana: es una gran novela de suspense, de amor y de investigación del alma humana.

El gran poeta Eliot adoraba a ambas. Para Swinburne es una obra maestra. La piedra lunar (la más perfecta novela policíaca, en palabras de Eliot) fue publicada en 1868, y desde entonces ha sido permanentemente reeditada en casi todas las lenguas.

A secretive marriage, a hated darling, contention between siblings, missing workers, and apparition dreams - a lot of Victorian goodness!Collins makes a considerable lot of compassion toward practically every person in the book. Disdaining any character is difficult. A homicide is committed in the main portion of the book. Our criminal investigator for this situation is the despised sweetheart, accidentally maneuvered into the standard story.

    Book SynopsisThe Black Robe is an 1881 epistolary ( series of letters) novel by famous English writer, Wilkie Collins. The book relates the adversities of Lewis Romayne, and is also noted for a recognised anti-Catholic bias. In this amazing novel of relationships, psychological convolutions, and fraud, a priest comes between an responsive man and the young woman he loves. A high ranking Catholic priest plans to recover land knowing Church property. It analyses very patiently a intense friendship between two men, Lewis Romayne and Arthur Penrose, which in some ways transforms in its power the principal heterosexual relationship depicted in the work. The Black Robe is full of Victorian England's religious views and influences Collins' general commentary about domestic issues and the condition of women. Through the description of the Church's spiritual elite, its priests, and characters' comments, England's anti-Catholicism views are apparent. This book is a kind of enigma, though nobody is murdered. It is a combination of realist late-Victorian fiction with an advice of Gothic.
