Descrizione libro Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. When two foundlings at a Victorian hospital are assigned the same name, the seeds are sown for a case of mistaken identity and a mystery that ranges from darkest London to the frozen peaks of the Swiss Alps and the sunny shores of the Mediterranean. Long-time friends Charles Dickens and Wilkie Collins collaborated on this novel - as well as the stage play - which reflects their characteristic propensity for adventure, humour, and romance. AUTHORS: After a childhood blighted by poverty, commercial success came early to Charles Dickens (181270). By the age of 24, he was an international sensation whose new novels were eagerly anticipated. Two centuries later, Dickens' popularity endures as readers revel in the warm humanity and rollicking humor of his tales of self-discovery. A prolific author of the Victorian era, Wilkie Collins (1824-89) wrote "sensation" novels. The forerunners of today's detective and suspense fiction, his best-known works include The Moonstone and The Woman in White. Charles Dickens was his lifelong friend and collaborator, and many of Collins' stories first appeared in Dickens' weekly publication, All the Year Round. Two foundlings at a Victorian hospital are assigned the same name, sowing the seeds for a case of mistaken identity. Written with the authors' customary sense of humor, adventure, and romance.
