Frasi di Wilkie William Collins
pagina 2

Wilkie William Collins è stato uno scrittore inglese, amico e collaboratore di Charles Dickens.

La sua produzione letteraria, e in particolare quella fantastica, è di assoluto rilievo, ma non vi è dubbio che a tutt'oggi sia maggiormente conosciuto dal grande pubblico per i romanzi gialli La donna in bianco, La Pietra di Luna, La legge e la signora e La follia dei Monkton. La pietra di Luna è, inoltre, il primo fair-play, ossia il primo romanzo in cui il lettore dispone di tutti gli indizi per risolvere il mistero, anche se Collins complica le indagini con falsi indizi. Questo senza nulla togliere ai molti altri romanzi e ai numerosissimi racconti da lui scritti. G.K. Chesterton ebbe una volta modo di scrivere relativamente a Dickens e Collins: «Erano due uomini che nessuno può superare nello scrivere storie di fantasmi».

“No man under Heaven deserves these sacrifices from us women. Men! They are the enemies of our innocence and our peace — they drag us away from our parents' love and our sisters' friendship — they take us body and soul to themselves, and fasten our helpless lives to theirs as they chain up a dog to his kennel.”
