  • 内容简介
  • 《德鲁德疑案》是狄更斯未及完稿的一部小说,在作者逝世的1870年发表。同狄更斯的其他作品一样,《德鲁德疑案》仍以善与恶的斗争为中心。善的集中代表是一对单纯正直的青年情侣德鲁德和罗莎,而与他们直接对立的便是阴险、虚伪的贾斯泼。贾斯泼因凯觎罗莎,密谋杀害德鲁德,并企图嫁祸于人,达到一箭双雕的目的。围绕这桩案件,小说展开了一系列错综复杂的情节。

    Though the novel is named after the character Edwin Drood, the story focuses on Drood's uncle, precentor, choirmaster and opium addict, John Jasper, who is in love with his pupil, Rosa Bud. Miss Bud, Drood's fiancée, has also caught the eye of the high-spirited and hot-tempered Neville Landless, who comes from Ceylon with his twin sister, Helena. Landless and Drood take an instant dislike to one another. Drood later disappears under mysterious circumstances.
