Description
A novel like a sog - Dan Simmons moves us into the dark abrounds of London in the 19th century and reveals one of the greatest secrets in literature history. London in June 1865: Many people find death in a dramatic railway accident. Among survivors, the most important writer of his time, Charles Dickens. But after this event, Dickens is no longer the same: How obsessed he is looking for a mysterious man called Drood. But who or what is Drood? And can it be that Charles Dickens becomes a cold-blooded killer in his last years of life? With "Drood", best-selling author Dan Simmons makes one of the most fascinating eras in history: the time of Victorian London with its gas-lit streets, his gloomy spelunks, his fascination for all spiritual. This is the time of Charles Dickens, who is still considered to be one of the largest English writers ever and has given us unforgettable hours of reading with masterpieces such as David Copperfield, or Oliver Twist. But Dickens still has another dark side that appears when he survives a railway accident only with close necessity on June 9, 1865. Since this day, it has hardly been recognised: More and more often, he dives into the London Underworld, obsessed by a man with the strange name Drood. He encountered this man in the railway accident, and it seems Dickens as if Drood is not an ordinary person, but the death itself...
