Barnaby Rudge and Edwin Drood V1 is a novel written by Charles Dickens and first published in 1899. The book tells the story of two young men, Barnaby Rudge and Edwin Drood, who come from very different backgrounds but become intertwined in a series of events that ultimately lead to tragedy.Barnaby Rudge is a simple-minded young man who lives with his mother in a small village outside of London. He becomes involved in the anti-Catholic riots of 1780, which were sparked by the passing of a bill that would have granted more rights to Catholics. Edwin Drood, on the other hand, is a wealthy young man who is engaged to be married to a woman named Rosa Bud. However, their relationship is complicated by the fact that they have known each other since childhood and have never been entirely sure of their feelings for each other.As the story unfolds, Barnaby and Edwin become caught up in a web of intrigue and deception that involves a mysterious stranger named John Jasper, who is both a choirmaster and a drug addict. Jasper is in love with Rosa and becomes increasingly obsessed with her as the story progresses. Meanwhile, Barnaby becomes the unwitting pawn of a group of conspirators who are plotting to overthrow the government.The novel is notable for its vivid descriptions of the riots and for its exploration of themes such as love, loyalty, and betrayal. It is also notable for its unfinished status, as Dickens died before he could complete the story. Despite this, the novel remains a classic of English literature and is beloved by readers around the world.Other ISBNs in this set include: 0548810265.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
