Synopsis "La mujer del sueño y otros relatos (in Spanish)"

Wilkie Collins (1824-1889), el prolífico y exitoso escritor victoriano, amigo y colaborador de Charles Dickens, no es sólo el autor de dos de las más reconocidas novelas de todoEncuadernación: Rústica con solapasColección: Clásicos y Modernos; 24 el siglo XIX (sin duda el «gran siglo» del género novelesco): La dama de blanco y La piedra lunar sino también un extraordinario cuentista. En La mujer del sueño y otros relatos encontramos una ajustada representación de sus cuentos de terror e intriga, en nada inferiores a los de Edgar Allan Poe y Guy de Maupassant, dos de los más reconocibles maestros del género. De Collins dijo Borges, uno de sus grandes admiradores y el principal responsable de su rescate en el ámbito hispánico, que era «un maestro de la vicisitud de la trama, de la patética zozobra y de los desenlaces imprevisibles».

(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.
