La pietra di luna (Italian Edition) by Wilkie Collins

By Wilkie Collins

l. a. pietra di Luna, prezioso e antico diamante giallo originario dell’India, dopo una serie di avventurose vicissitudini sopportate nel corso dei secoli, giunge in Inghilterra e viene donata a una giovane nobildonna di nome Rachel Verinder nel giorno del suo diciottesimo compleanno. Il gioiello, di valore inestimabile, scompare in circostanze misteriose quella notte stessa e un famoso investigatore, il sergente Cuff, viene incaricato di ritrovarlo. L’indagine, according to quanto accurata, non porta advert alcun risultato e causa, anzi, sgomento e confusione sia tra i membri della famiglia Verinder che nella servitù. Il romanzo, in cui tutti i personaggi sono apparentemente innocenti ma allo stesso pace possibili colpevoli, si sviluppa seguendo le sorti della pietra di Luna, in un groviglio di eventi drammatici raccontati, di volta in volta, dai diversi protagonisti.
A fare da sfondo a questo giallo così magistralmente costruito c’è una romantica storia d’amore che, insieme alla suspense e alla curiosità, tiene il lettore avidamente inchiodato al libro dalla prima all’ultima pagina. Unanimemente riconosciuto come uno dei più grandi capolavori di Wilkie Collins, l. a. pietra di Luna, alla sua uscita nel 1868, consacrò il clamoroso successo dell’autore e riuscì addirittura a destare l’invidia di Charles Dickens, suo grande amico e maestro.
