Sobre este artículo
London: Odhams Press Ltd.. Very Good. c1930. Hardcover. The book is firmly bound, page edges are foxed. The dust jacket is worn to the extremities, the spine is faded. Light toning to the endpapers, the text block is generally in very good condition. [ref: 82785 ] ; The story is sometimes considered an early example of detective fiction with protagonist Walter Hartright employing many of the sleuthing techniques of later private detectives. The use of multiple narrators (including nearly all the principal characters) draws on Collins's legal training. The novel was listed at number 77 on the BBC's survey The Big Read. .
Sinopsis
The Woman in White famously opens with Walter Hartright's eerie encounter on a moonlit London road. Engaged as a drawing master to the beautiful Laura Fairlie, Walter is drawn into the sinister intrigues of Sir Percival Glyde and his 'charming' friend Count Fosco, who has a taste for white mice, vanilla bonbons and poison. Pursuing questions of identity and insanity along the paths and corridors of English country houses and the madhouse, The Woman in White is the first and most influential of the Victorian genre that combined Gothic horror with psychological realism.
