The Fallen Leaves
Collins, Wilkie
Synopsis "The Fallen Leaves"
The Fallen Leaves, Wilkie Collins's novel was published in 1879, devoted to Caroline Graves. The title 'Fallen Leaves' depicts the life of four women, who are lonely and friendless and have relationship with the hero, Amelius Goldenheart. Banished from his Utopian people group because of an unlawful issue with a more seasoned lady, Amelius comes to London to enrol in the assistance of John Farnaby, a man with a scandal history. He is quickly enraptured by his manager's niece and soon our legend ends up ensnared in his new family's dim history. It is representing two outlooks- merciless wealthy society o England and utopian community in America. The novel shows the theme that it's difficult to have a successful relationship between men and women, which are neither pious nor corrupt.

A los 17 años comienza a trabajar en una empresa de comercio de té mientras escribe Ioláni, o Tahití tal como era (Gótica nº 32), obra que no vio la luz hasta más de un siglo después de su muerte. Estudió Derecho y, aunque nunca llegó a ejercer, sí utilizó los conocimientos jurídicos en muchas de sus obras, y la crítica le considera uno de los padres del género policiaco. En 1851, conoce a Charles Dickens, al que le unirá una profunda amistad y publicará en su semanario All the Year Around sus principales obras. Tras la muerte de Dickens en 1870, su popularidad decae. Padeció de gota reumática la que le acabó provocando una adicción al opio. El epitafio de su tumba le destaca como el autor de la novela La dama de blanco.
