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,一名青年失蹤了。年輕的埃德溫·德魯德要娶住在寄宿學校的姑娘羅莎·巴德。這是兩人的父親很久以前就定下的。

The world of the book

環繞大教堂的英國小城。故事發生在19世紀的克洛伊斯特漢姆,這是英格蘭東南部一座寧靜的小城,環繞著一座古老的大教堂。這個地名是虛構的:狄更斯以他從小就熟悉的羅徹斯特為原型。
