The Moonstone, by Wilkie Collins (Unabridged) by Wilkie Collins Pdf
The Moonstone (1868) by Wilkie Collins is a 19th-century British epistolary novel. It is generally considered to be the first detective novel, and it established many of the ground rules of the modern detective novel. The story was originally serialised in Charles Dickens' magazine All the Year Round. The Moonstone and The Woman in White are widely considered to be Collins' best novels, and Collins adapted The Moonstone for the stage in 1877, although the production was performed for only two months. Plot outline: Rachel Verinder, a young English woman, inherits a large Indian diamond on her eighteenth birthday. It is a legacy from her uncle, a corrupt British army officer who served in India. The diamond is of great religious significance and extremely valuable, and three Hindu priests have dedicated their lives to recovering it. The story incorporates elements of the legendary origins of the Hope Diamond (or perhaps the Orloff Diamond or the Koh-i-Noor diamond). Rachel's eighteenth birthday is celebrated with a large party, at which the guests include her cousin Franklin Blake. She wears the Moonstone on her dress that evening for all to see, including some Indian jugglers who have called at the house. Later that night, the diamond is stolen from Rachel's bedroom, and a period of turmoil, unhappiness, misunderstandings and ill-luck ensues. Told by a series of narratives from some of the main characters, the complex plot traces the subsequent efforts to explain the theft, identify the thief, trace the stone and recover it.

The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins Pdf
The earliest known traditions describe the stone as having been set inthe forehead of the four-handed Indian god who typifies the Moon. Partlyfrom its peculiar colour, partly from a superstition which representedit as feeling the influence of the deity whom it adorned, and growingand lessening in lustre with the waxing and waning of the moon, itfirst gained the name by which it continues to be known in India tothis day--the name of THE MOONSTONE. A similar superstition was onceprevalent, as I have heard, in ancient Greece and Rome; not applying,however (as in India), to a diamond devoted to the service of a god, butto a semi-transparent stone of the inferior order of gems, supposed tobe affected by the lunar influences--the moon, in this latter case also,giving the name by which the stone is still known to collectors in ourown time.

Wilkie Collins: A Life of Sensation by Andrew Lycett Pdf
The definitive biography of Wilkie Collins: the Victorian novelist, playwright, author of The Moonstone and The Woman in White, who lived a life of sensation. Wilkie Collins, author of The Moonstone and The Woman in White, was the master of the Victorian sensation novel, but he also had a complex private life that could have come straight out of one of his bestselling novels. While his books focused on uncovering family secrets, Wilkie was determined to keep his own unconventional domestic arrangements – living with two women, neither of them his wife – hidden from the outside world. In this colourful investigative biography, set against the backdrop of Victorian London, Andrew Lycett brings to life one of England’s greatest writers and reveals a brilliant, contrary and sensual man, deeply committed to his work.
