Synopsis "Dos Destinos (Biblioteca Wilkie Collins) (in Spanish)"

Los destinos a los que hace referencia el título de esta novela son los de Mary Dermody y George Germaine, dos almas gemelas que, a lo largo de su vida, tratarán de permanecer unidos. Su temprano amor sufre sin embargo toda clase de obstáculos. Su anhelado reencuentro obedecerá siempre a causas sobrenaturales, produciéndose sólo cuando los sueños se materializan y los deseos se convierten en fantasmas expectantes.

View Author's Page

(London 1824-1889) Playwright, novelist, and prolific short story writer. At 17, he started working at a tea trading company while writing Ioláni, or Tahiti as it was (Gothic no. 32), a work that was not published until over a century after his death. He studied Law and, although he never practiced, he did use his legal knowledge in many of his works, and critics consider him one of the fathers of the detective genre. In 1851, he met Charles Dickens, with whom he formed a deep friendship and published his main works in his weekly All the Year Around. After Dickens' death in 1870, his popularity waned. He suffered from rheumatic gout which eventually led to an opium addiction. His tombstone epitaph highlights him as the author of the novel The Woman in White.
