书籍简介

青年画家哈特赖特应聘去费尔利家当家庭教师，路上邂逅一个身穿白衣的女人，从谈话中得知她是从疯人院里逃出来的，出于同情，他帮她躲过了追踪她的人。哈特赖特发现，自己的女学生劳娜很像那个白衣女人。劳娜的父亲临终前将女儿许配给了帕西瓦尔爵士，但是，爵士看中的只是她的巨额财产。他与意大利的秘密革命团体中的一个叛徒福克斯合谋，害死了知道真相的白衣女人，并把她的尸体当作劳娜下葬，又把劳娜当作白衣女人送回疯人院，劳娜于惊吓之下患上失忆症。与劳娜真心相爱的哈特赖特挺身而出，开始了营救劳娜、揭穿帕西瓦尔阴谋诡计的行动……。

"She looked so irresistibly beautiful as she said those brave words that no man alive could have steeled his heart against her."

In love with the beautiful heiress Laura Fairlie, the impoverished art teacher Walter Hartright finds his romantic desires thwarted by her previous engagement to Sir Percival Glyde. But all is not as it seems with Sir Percival, as becomes clear when he arrives with his eccentric friend Count Fosco. The mystery and intrigue are further deepened by the ghostly appearances of a woman in white, apparently harbouring a secret that concerns Sir Percival's past.

A tale of love, madness, deceit and redemption, boasting sublime Gothic settings and pulse-quickening suspense, The Woman in White was the first best-selling Victorian sensation novel, sparking off a huge trend in the fiction of the time with its compulsive, fascinating narrative.

作者简介

威尔基·柯林斯(Wilkie Collins)，于1824年1月8日生于伦敦，1889年9月23日死在伦敦。父亲是个风景画家。他12岁时随父母迁居意大利，三年后回国，就读于海伯里私立寄宿学校，曾在茶叶公司工作，后改学法律，在伦敦林肯法学协会当过律师。1847年，父亲死后，他才开始以写作为生。处女作《威廉·柯林斯》传，不久就从事小说创作。一开始成绩平平，后来他结识了当代文豪狄更斯，成为莫逆之交，并为狄更斯主编的，当时风行的杂志经常撰稿。他的长篇小说往往在这本杂志上先发表，然后出单行本。这期间他写了不少小说，大都以侦破犯罪事件为题材，柯林斯即以此种小说蜚声社会，享誉30余年，但他作品虽多，而得以流传后世并得到肯定的仅有《月亮宝石》和成名作《白衣女人》两部。

Wilkie Collins remains most famous for his novels The Moonstone and The Woman in White, in which he pioneered a new style of "sensation" writing, the influence of which can still be seen in today's culture in the genres of crime, mystery and suspens. He is also renowned for his close relationship with Charles Dickens, who regarded him as the most talented of his many proteges.
