The story recounts the troubled romance of Rosa Bud and  the book’s eponymous character, who later vanishes. Was Drood murdered, and if so  by whom? All clues point to John Jasper, Drood’s lugubrious uncle, who coveted Rosa.  Or did Drood orchestrate his own disappearance? As Charles Dickens died before finishing  the book, the ending is intriguingly ambiguous.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In his Introduction, Matthew Pearl  illuminates the 150-year-long quest to unravel\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Mystery of Edwin Drood\u003c\/b\u003e and lends  new insight into the novel, the literary milieu of 1870s England, and the private  life of Charles Dickens. This Modern Library edition includes new endnotes and a  full transcript of “The Trial of John Jasper for the Murder of Edwin Drood,” the  1914 mock court case presided over and argued by the likes of G. K. Chesterton and  George Bernard Shaw. Now diehard fans, new readers, and armchair detectives have  another opportunity to solve the mystery Dickens took to his grave.","brand":"Modern Library","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43374529511679,"sku":"9780812980455","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780812980455_s600x595.jpg?v=1775589204","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9780812980455","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
