Présentation de l'éditeur :
"I will not abuse your kindness," replied the doctor, resuming his chair. "I will be as short as I can. Mr. Armadale's case is briefly this: He has passed the greater part of his life in the West Indies—a wild life, and a vicious life, by his own confession. Shortly after his marriage—now some three years since—the first symptoms of an approaching paralytic affection began to show themselves, and his medical advisers ordered him away to try the climate of Europe. Since leaving the West Indies he has lived principally in Italy, with no benefit to his health. From Italy, before the last seizure attacked him, he removed to Switzerland, and from Switzerland he has been sent to this place. So much I know from his doctor's report; the rest I can tell you from my own personal experience.
Présentation de l'éditeur :
A thrilling narrative involving fraud, romantic jealousy and attempted murder. The chilling description of an abortionist with a bizarre clinic is unforgettable. Collins skilfully weaves a complex plot and presents several characters with the same name of Alan Armadale. It is a marvellous and amusing book that is guaranteed to keep you interested till the end.
