About this ebook

Wilkie Collins, scrittore inglese nato a Londra nel 1824 e morto nel 1889, scrisse romanzi e racconti di genere tra il sensazionale e il poliziesco, pubblicati spesso anche a puntate. Era figlio di William, un pittore molto noto ai suoi tempi, amico di Dickens, che lo convinse ad occuparsi di letteratura. Il grazioso racconto Il cottage nero, mette in risalto le qualità della scrittura di Collins, soprattutto l’azione serrata dell’avventura , in cui gli avvenimenti si susseguono ricchi di pathos. La figura della protagonista, una semplice e intelligente ragazza che racconta ad un immaginario ascoltatore la terribile vicenda accadutale vari anni prima, è di quelle che rimangono impresse a lungo nella memoria del lettore.

Wilkie Collins

William Wilkie Collins was born in London in 1824, the son of a successful and popular painter. Collins himself demonstrated some artistic talent and had a painting hung in the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition in 1849, but his real passion was for writing. On leaving school, he worked in the office of a tea merchant in the Strand but hated it. He left and read law as a student at Lincoln's Inn but already his writing career was flowering. His first novel, Antonina, was published in 1850. In 1851, the same year that he was called to the bar, he met and established a lifelong friendship with Charles Dickens. While Collins' fame rests on his best known works, The Woman in White and The Moonstone, he wrote over thirty books, as well as numerous short stories, articles and plays. He was a hugely popular writer in his lifetime. Collins was an unconventional individual: he never married but established long term liaisons with two separate households. He died in 1889.
