About this audiobook

London im viktorianischen Zeitalter. Weit nach Mitternacht macht sich der Zeichenlehrer Walter Hartright auf den Weg nach Hause. Da begegnet ihm eine etwas verwirrt wirkende und verängstigte Frau, die ganz in Weiß gekleidet ist. Es kommt zu einem kurzen Wortwechsel. Als er sich von ihr verabschiedet hat, erfährt er, dass die geheimnisvolle Frau scheinbar aus einem Irrenhaus entwichen ist. Am nächsten Tag tritt Walter in Limmeridge House, Cumberland, seinen Dienst als Kunstlehrer an. Er soll die Halbschwestern Marian Halcombe und Laura Fairlie unterrichten und verliebt sich alsbald in die schöne Laura. Diese ist jedoch einem einflussreichen Mann namens Sir Percival Glyde versprochen. Als die Frau in Weiß erneut auftaucht, wird Sir Percival nervös, denn offensichtlich scheint sie sein dunkles Geheimnis zu kennen. Die kriminellen Machenschaften, die dieser gemeinsam mit Conte Fosco betreibt, enden schließlich in einer mörderischen Intrige, die nicht zu verhindern ist ...

Wilkie Collins

William Wilkie Collins was born in London in 1824, the son of a successful and popular painter. Collins himself demonstrated some artistic talent and had a painting hung in the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition in 1849, but his real passion was for writing. On leaving school, he worked in the office of a tea merchant in the Strand but hated it. He left and read law as a student at Lincoln's Inn but already his writing career was flowering. His first novel, Antonina, was published in 1850. In 1851, the same year that he was called to the bar, he met and established a lifelong friendship with Charles Dickens. While Collins' fame rests on his best known works, The Woman in White and The Moonstone, he wrote over thirty books, as well as numerous short stories, articles and plays. He was a hugely popular writer in his lifetime. Collins was an unconventional individual: he never married but established long term liaisons with two separate households. He died in 1889.
