Woman in white (new cover). Collins U.

William Wilki Collins is a classic of English literature of the 19th century, which went down in history as the ancestor of modern detective literature. The key to the success of the works of Collins, from which twenty-three novels and four collections of stories and stories came out, was a combination of various genres: the writer skillfully united in his books the melodrama, detective and moral-descriptive novel, generously seasoning them with elements of the Gothic novel.

The most famous Roman Collins “Woman in White” was written in this style. It is based on a fascinating story about a gloomy crime, the secret of which is hidden behind the image of a mysterious woman dressed in a white dress.
