Autorenporträt
Charles Dickens (1812-1870) foi um renomado romancista e crítico social inglês, amplamente considerado um dos maiores escritores da era vitoriana. Nascido em Portsmouth, Inglaterra, Dickens teve uma infância difícil, marcada por dificuldades financeiras, que mais tarde influenciaram grande parte da sua escrita. Alcançando a fama com romances em série, Dickens tornou-se conhecido pela sua capacidade de combinar humor, observação social perspicaz e personagens profundamente humanas. As suas obras lançam luz sobre as lutas dos pobres, as falhas dos sistemas institucionais e as grandes disparidades entre as classes sociais na Inglaterra do século XIX. Hoje em dia, Dickens é celebrado não só pelas suas narrativas convincentes, mas também pelo seu impacto duradouro na literatura e na sociedade.
