About Basil“While I still looked at her, as she sat opposite speaking to her companion, our eyes met. It was only for a moment—but the sensation of a moment often makes the thought of a life.”Basil is the second novel written by English author Wilkie Collins, published in 1852, and is regarded as an early example of the “sensation” novel.The plot, containing all the elements of a mystery story and a thriller, follows Basil, who falls in love at first sight with beautiful, enigmatic Margaret Sherwin, the daughter of a linen draper, and agrees to a secret union until she comes of age. As a result of his secret marriage, Basil gradually finds himself enmeshed in a life-threatening struggle with forces he only half understands. A thrilling literary classic, and an unmissable read.
