Book summary

In the little town of Cloisterham, in the shadow of its cathedral, young Edwin Drood is to marry Rosa Bud, a bride chosen for him since childhood. His uncle, John Jasper, the choirmaster, seems to love him dearly, but he secretly smokes opium and hides a passion for Rosa. One Christmas night, Edwin disappears.

Dickens died before finishing this novel, without leaving the solution. For more than a hundred and fifty years, readers have been trying to guess what happened to Edwin.

Full of suspense, this novel is a pleasure to read in the language you are learning.

The plot

平安夜,一个青年失踪了。年轻的埃德温·德鲁德要娶住在寄宿学校的姑娘罗莎·巴德。这是两人的父亲很久以前就定下的。

The world of the book

围绕大教堂的英国小城。故事发生在19世纪的克洛伊斯特汉姆,这是英格兰东南部一座宁静的小城,围绕着一座古老的大教堂。这个地名是虚构的:狄更斯以他从小就熟悉的罗切斯特为原型。
