Sobre este artículo
New York, New York, USA: Dover Pubns, 1985. Paperback. Very Good/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7?" - 9?" tall. Trade Paperback in Very Good Condition. Unabridged Dover (1985) republication of the first book edition, published by Richard Bentley and Son, London, 1879. Author introduction. First published in 1860. Clean and unmarked wraps with lady in carriage being greeted by the rogue kissing her hand. Whisper of wear to corners. Wilkie Collins, 1824-1889, is considered to have been the first English author of bona fide detective and mystery novels. "A Rogue's Life" is a first-rate Victorian tale, an autobiography of an unrelenting, unrepentant rascal, a fun, rollicking, five-part novelette -- love at first sight, unconventional wills, peculiar Scottish marriage laws. It is gay and bantering and quite unlike his other novels. 609 pages. 5.25 x 8.5 inches. 1985, Dover Pubns, New York, New York, USA
Sinopsis
I am going to try if I can't write something about myself. My life has been rather a strange one. It may not seem particularly useful or respectable; but it has been, in some respects, adventurous; and that may give it claims to be read, even in the most prejudiced circles. I am an example of some of the workings of the social system of this illustrious country on the individual native, during the early part of the present century; and, if I may say so without unbecoming vanity, I should like to quote myself for the edification of my countrymen.
