520 _aDicken´s final novel, left unifinished at his death, is a tale of mystery whose fast-paced action takes place in an ancient cathedral city and in some of the darkest places in nineteenth-century London. Drugs, sexual obssion, colonial adventuring and puzzles about identy are among the novel´s themes. At the centre of the plot lie the baffling disappearence of Edwin Drood and the many explanations of his whereabouts. A sombre and menaching atmosphere, a fascinating range of characters and Dicken´s usual superb command of language combine to make this an exciting and tantalising story. Also included in this volume are a number of unjustly neglected stories and shetches, with subjects as different as murder and guilt and chidhood romance. This unusual selection illustrated Dickens´s immense creativity and versatility.
