«Confesiones de un bribón» is the novel by Wilkie Collins, published by Ediciones Obelisco in paperback (224 pages, in Spanish).
Francis, son of a well-to-do London family, abandons medicine for caricature and satire, compromising his family's prestige. In debt, he ends up in prison and then makes a living forging paintings and currency. The novel, narrated in the first person, satirizes Victorian hypocrisy with irony.
Work originally published in 1856 as A Rogue's Life. First edition in the Narrativa collection of Ediciones Obelisco.
For readers of Victorian classics who appreciate humour, irony and mystery.
William Wilkie Collins was an English novelist and playwright known especially for The Woman in White (1860), a mystery novel and early sensation novel, and for The Moonstone (1868), which established many of the ground rules of the modern detective novel and is also perhaps the earliest clear example of the police procedural genre.
