Bleak House is a novel by celebrated English author Charles Dickens, first serialised and then published in book form in 1853. The complex plot, aided by a brilliantly depicted and engaging cast of characters, is in many ways a detective story, incorporating as it does elements of crime, mystery and romance. Set in 19th century London, this is an intricate story of the infamous "Jarndyce and Jarndyce" law-suit in which its characters are entangled, the cold and fog seeping from the Thames representing the confounding and pernicious effect on everyone involved in this legal quagmire. A powerful, absorbing literary classic, and an unmissable read.…mehr

Autorenporträt
Charles Dickens, a towering figure in English literature, needs little advent. His literary works, along with classics like "A Tale of Two Cities," "Great Expectations," and "David Copperfield," have left an indelible mark on literature. One of Dickens's lesser-acknowledged works, "The Lazy Tour of Two Idle Apprentices," is a collaborative effort co-authored with his friend Wilkie Collins. The book, posted in 1857, takes the shape of a travelogue and follows the fictitious adventure of idlers, Thomas Idle and Francis Goodchild. The narrative unfolds as a chain of humorous and reflective sketches recounting their adventures and encounters all through their travels. "The Lazy Tour of Two Idle Apprentices" gives readers a blend of Dickens's wit and Collins's storytelling prowess. The collaborative effort offers a satisfying exploration of person dynamics and the scenic backdrop of the English nation-state. Though not as extensively acclaimed as a number of Dickens's principal novels, this painting showcases the writer's versatility and his capacity to interact readers via numerous literary bureaucracy.
