"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.
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。
評分我在读《月亮宝石》的时候,璐儿在看我借给她的《神雕侠侣》。她说她读《月亮宝石》的时候是在初中,正和我读《神雕侠侣》的时间段差不多。 名著大概都是不会过时的,无论是十来岁还是二十来岁三十来岁,大概各个年龄去读都各有各的味道。 《月亮宝石》这本有一个推理小说的...
評分使用汉王,里面收录的这个小说,因为以前读过,还觉得不错就再读了一边。 优点是从不同社会层次的人多角度看待一个人,看法迥异,这种写法在当年应该是比较新鲜的;另外一个是老仆人对鲁滨孙漂流记的解读,很有趣,给人印象深刻。 缺点是整个故事所基于的科学理论看来并不靠谱。
評分正如我为这本书添加的标签,并没有选择“侦探”、“悬疑”这些关键词,我想应该有很多读者也这么认为,这本书作为侦探小说确实有点“蹩脚”,推理色彩太淡,但我认为它仍然称得上是一本经典文学小说。谁说侦探题材小说就完全脱离文学元素?从阿加莎的小说那里我看到了优...
評分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~
