[EAN: 9781847247957], Gebraucht, guter Zustand, [PU: Little, Brown and Company, US], On June 9, 1865, while traveling by train to London with his secret mistres s, 53-year-old Charles Dickens--at the height of his powers and popularity, the most famous and successful novelist in the world and perhaps in the hi story of the world--hurtled into a disaster that changed his life forever. Did Dickens begin living a dark double life after the accident? Were his ni ghtly forays into the worst slums of London and his deepening obsession wit h corpses, crypts, murder, opium dens, the use of lime pits to dissolve bod ies, and a hidden subterranean London mere research . . . or something more terrifying? Just as he did in The Terror, Dan Simmons draws impeccably from history to create a gloriously engaging and terrifying narrative. Based on the historical details of Charles Dickens's life and narrated by Wilkie Collins (Dickens's friend, frequent collaborator, and Salieri-style secret rival), DROOD explores the still-unsolved mysteries of the famous author's last years and may provide the key to Dickens's final, unfinished work: The Mystery of Edwin Drood. Chilling, haunting, and utterly original, DROOD is Dan Simmons at his powerful best., Books<
