Krátky popis
Armadale (1866) by Wilkie Collins is a 19th-century semi-epistolary
novel. Some chapters consist of letters between the various
characters, while other chapters record the events as the
characters perceive them.The novel has a convoluted plot about two
distant cousins both named Allan Armadale. The father of one had
murdered the father of the other (the two fathers are also named
Allan Armadale). The story starts with a deathbed confession by the
murderer in the form of a letter to be given to his baby son when
he grows up. Many years are skipped over. The son, mistreated at
home, runs away from his mother and stepfather, and takes up a
wandering life under the assumed name of Ozias Midwinter. He
becomes a companion to the other Allan Armadale, who throughout the
novel never discovers the relationship. But Ozias is constantly
haunted by feeling that he might harm Allan, first after he reads
the letter left for him, and then again after they spend the night
on a shipwreck off the Isle of Man--the ship turning out to be the
same on which the old murder took place (the murderer locked his
victim in a cabin as the boat filled with water). On the boat,
Allan has a mysterious dream involving three characters. This dream
fills Ozias with foreboding, its three scenes becoming fulfilled in
the course of the novel.
