Berhubung
aku penyuka novel-novel klasik, dan Charles Dickens adalah salah satu penulis
favoritku, buku yang masuk Wishful Wednesday-ku kali ini sudah barang tentu
masuk daftar tunggu koleksiku J.
Di antara sekian banyak buku-buku Dickens, ada 2 yang merupakan historical
fiction, dan salah satunya adalah…
Barnaby
Rudge
By Charles
Dickens
Sinopsis:
"I
dreamed ...I dreamed just now that something - it was in the shape of a man -
followed me - came softly to me - wouldn't let me be - but was always hiding
and crouching, like a cat in dark corners, waiting till I should pass; when it
crept out and came softly after me ..." Set against the backdrop of the
Gordon Riots of 1780, Charles Dickens' novel "Barnaby Rudge" is a
story of mystery and suspense which begins with an unsolved double murder and
goes on to involve conspiracy, blackmail, abduction and retribution. Through
the course of the novel fathers and sons become opposed, apprentices plot
against their masters and Protestants clash with Catholics on the streets. And,
as London erupts into riot, Barnaby Rudge himself struggles to escape the curse
of his own past. With its dramatic descriptions of public violence and private
horror, its strange secrets and ghostly doublings, "Barnaby Rudge" is
a powerful, disturbing blend of historical realism and Gothic melodrama. The
Penguin English Library includes 100 editions of the best fiction in English,
from the eighteenth century and the very first novels to the beginning of the
First World War.
