"The Moonstone," by Wilkie Collins, is part of the "Barnes and Noble Classics"" "series, which offers quality editions at affordable prices to the student and the general reader, including new scholarship, thoughtful design, and pages of carefully crafted extras. Here are some of the remarkable features of "Barnes and Noble Classics": New introductions commissioned from today's top writers and scholars Biographies of the authors Chronologies of contemporary historical, biographical, and cultural events Footnotes and endnotes Selective discussions of imitations, parodies, poems, books, plays, paintings, operas, statuary, and films inspired by the work Comments by other famous authors Study questions to challenge the reader's viewpoints and expectations Bibliographies for further reading Indices and Glossaries, when appropriateAll editions are beautifully designed and are printed to superior specifications; some include illustrations of historical interest. "Barnes and Noble Classics "pulls together a constellation of influences-biographical, historical, and literary-to enrich each reader's understanding of these enduring works. Alongside Edgar Allan Poe in America, Britain's Wilkie Collins stands as the inventor of the modern detective story. "The Moonstone" introduces all the ingredients: a homey, English country setting, and a colorfully exotic background in colonial India; the theft of a fabulous diamond from the lovely heroine; a bloody murder and a tragic suicide; a poor hero in love with the heroine but suspected of the crime, who can't remember anything about the night the jewel was stolen; assorted friends, relatives, servants, a lawyer, a doctor, a sea captain-suspects, all; and, mostessentially, a bumbling local policeman and a brilliant if eccentric London detective. Adding spice to the recipe are unexpected twists, a bit of dark satire, a dash of social comment, and an unusual but effective narrative structure-eleven different voices relate parts of the tale, each revealing as much about himself (and, in one case, herself) as about the mystery of the missing Moonstone. Filled with suspense, action, and romance, "The Moonstone" is as riveting and intoxicating today as it was when it first appeared more than a century ago. Joy Connolly teaches in the Classics Department at New York University. Her recent research includes the history of rhetoric and political thought, and the relationship of literature and ethics. She writes book reviews for the New York Times and other publications.
月亮宝石里面的故事真的很(^o^)/~好哩,里面的故事很吸引人仿佛身临其境一颗月亮宝石引发的一个侦探故事作者科林斯能把该故事描述的非常完美故本人力荐这本书O(∩_∩)O哈哈~
评分说实话,严格意义上,月亮宝石算不上一部好的推理小说。受限于作者生活的年代,书中充斥着神秘主义,大量不靠谱科学知识,以及近乎超心理学的犯罪手法。不过作为一本通俗读物,这本书很有趣,这就够了。
评分模糊记得是小学五年级时候读的的一本书,读的很认真,所以记得很深,卑微的跛脚的女佣,为了心中伟大的爱,陷进流沙,再也不存在这个世界里,她心里平平的辽阔的爱随着夜幕深凉,融进广袤的大海。 人行走在这个错综复杂的世界,心中爱意的发枝,彼此错综,能够灵灵相犀的真的为...

评分①忘了最初是如何遇到威尔·柯林斯的作品的了。可能是读其他书时看到出版社附在尾页的作品列表,被《月亮宝石》这个名字所吸引;可能是读毛姆《月亮与六便士》时搜到过这部名字相似的作品;也可能是以前看英文小说简写本时读过他的一本《白衣女人》(当时是为了练习英文,确实...
