"Der rötliche Schein eines herbstlichen Sonnenunterganges beleuchtete die dunkeln Ginsterbüsche und die zittern den Spitzen des purpurnen Heidekrautes, welche den Gipfel eines Hügels in der Grafschaft Sussex zierten. In der Ferne mischte sich in die leisem klagenden Töne des Septemberwindes das wie ein Wehruf klingende Tosen des weiten Ozeans. Auf einem schmalen Fußpfad, der sich den Hügel hinauf wand, schritt eine Dame in Witwenkleidung auf und ab, ohne ihre Augen von dem glutroten Horizont und der purpurnen Linie des fernen Meeres abzuwenden."
Wyllards wundersame Wege
In einem abgelegenen Winkel von Cornwall stürzt eine junge Frau aus einem fahrenden Eisenbahnzug in den Tod. Unfall, Selbstmord oder Mord? Wer von den übrigen Fahrgästen weiß etwas? Bei der Untersuchung durch den Coroner Edward Heathcote macht sich Bothwell Grahame verdächtig, in den Heathcotes Schwester Hilda verliebt ist. Aber auch der Großgrundbesitzer Julian Wyllard, miit dessen Frau Dora der Coroner früher einmal verlobt war, bleibt undurchsichtig. Erste Ermittlungen führen zu keinem Ergebnis. Auf Bitten seiner Schwester entschließt sich Heathcote, Bothwells Unschuld zu beweisen und Hilda so die Eheschließung zu ermöglichen. Seine Nachforschungen führen ihn nach Frankreich und zu einem Verbrechen, das schon vor zehn Jahren begangen wurde. Aber auch Bothwell hat ein Geheimnis…
In ihrem spannenden, 1885 erstmals erschienenen Roman Wyllards wundersame Wege konstruiert Mary Elizabeth Braddon eine raffinierte Handlung zwischen Verbrechen und Liebe in den gegensätzlichen Welten von viktorianischer Gesellschaft, französischer Bohème und Moderne.
Die Autorin Mary Elizabeth Braddon (1835-1915) war im England des 19. Jahrhunderts eine der beliebtesten Schriftstellerinnen. In ihren über 80 Romanen unterhält sie den Leser immer wieder mit erfindungsreichen, fantasievollen Handlungen und lässt damit die viktorianische Gesellschaft auch für heutige Leser lebendig werden.
Тайна леди Одли
Студия «МедиаКнига» представляет аудиокнигу популярной английской писательницы Мэри Элизабет Брэддон – «Тайна леди Одли» Люси Грэхем медленно поднималась по лестнице в свою маленькую комнату. Она поставила тусклую свечу на комод и села на край белой кровати, такая же тихая и белая, как драпировки, висевшие вокруг нее. – Больше не будет зависимости, не будет тяжелой работы, не будет унижений, – прошептала она. – Все следы старой жизни исчезли – все нити к правде похоронены и забыты – за исключением этих, за исключением этих. Она не убирала руки с черной ленточки вокруг шеи. Она вытащила ее из-под платья и посмотрела на предмет, прикрепленный к ней. Это был не медальон, не миниатюра и не крестик: это было кольцо, завернутое в кусочек бумаги, желтой от времени и смятой от частых развертываний.
