Wilkie Collins

The Frozen Deep

MP3 CD (IDB Productions July 6, 2016)
Among the thirty or so novels that illustrious novelist Wilkie Collins has penned, The Frozen Deep is one of the more exciting, as well as unusual of his tales. While most might consider books such as The Moonstone, The Woman in White or A Terribly Strange bed to be counted as the most well-known and well-written of Collins' works, The Frozen Deep will certainly provide even modern readers with a significant challenge, as well as an overall enjoyable reading experience.The story itself is based on the tales and travels associated with the treacherous Northern Passage – the quickest seafaring route linking the North Atlantic and Pacific Ocean, and being considered at the time as one of the most dangerous travel journeys in the world. Collins' novel unfolds around an unusual love affair revolving around two men loving the same woman.With dramatic developments, surprising plot twists and a level of diligent storytelling brilliance that only Wilkie Collins is capable of, we are soon led deep into an exciting tale with an unpredictable outcome. If you are already used to the author's unique writing style, you will likely be drawn to this story from the start; however, even modern readers are often able to feel Collins' strong, almost magnetic ability to captivate the attention of his audience.Well-developed and using just the right dose of tension, The Frozen Deep is an overall pleasant and exciting tale, albeit not necessarily for the faint of heart.Wilkie Collins was considered by many of his Victorian readers as one of the best authors of the era. Often compared to his friend, and equally renowned author, Charles Dickens, Collins' works live on to reveal the more obscure and intriguing side of human imagination, as it was taken to its positive extreme by the English novelist.
