O autorze

Wilkie Collins, born William Wilkie Collins on January 8, 1824, in London, England, was a prominent figure in the development of the mystery and sensation novel genres during the Victorian era. As a close friend and contemporary of Charles Dickens, Collins's literary career was both influenced by and contributive to the rich tradition of 19th-century British literature. His masterful storytelling and intricate plots have earned him a respected place among classic novelists. Collins's penchant for unconventional narratives and intricate character development is exemplified in works such as 'The Woman in White' (1860) and 'The Moonstone' (1868), considered by many to be among the first modern English detective novels. They display his trademark use of suspense and exploration of social issues of the time. 'The Fallen Leaves,' lesser-known yet reflective of Collins's style, delves into themes of society, class, and the complexity of human relationships. Collins's narrative techniques often involved multiple viewpoints and intricate plots, pioneering elements that have been influential in subsequent detective and suspense fiction. Beside his novels, Collins also wrote short stories and plays, showcasing his versatility as a writer. His impact on the mystery genre has been well-documented, and his works continue to be studied for their narrative innovation and commentary on Victorian society. Collins passed away on September 23, 1889, but his contributions to literature endure, ensuring his legacy within the canon of English literature.
