Wilkie Collins 
The Moonstone 
One of the World’s Greatest Gothic Novels

Supporto
The Moonstone is one of the first true works of detective fiction, in which Wilkie Collins established the groundwork for the genre itself. The Moonstone, a priceless yellow diamond, is looted from an Indian temple and maliciously bequeathed to Rachel Verinder. On her eighteenth birthday, her friend and suitor Franklin Blake brings the gift to her. That very night, it is stolen again. No one is above suspicion, as the idiosyncratic Sergeant Cuff and the Franklin piece together a puzzling series of events as mystifying as an opium dream and as deceptive as the nearby Shivering Sand. The intricate plot and modern technique of multiple narrators made Wilkie Collins’s 1868 work a huge success in the Victorian sensation genre. With a reconstruction of the crime, red herrings and a ‘locked-room’ puzzle,
The Moonstone was also a major precursor of the modern mystery novel.
