Autorenporträt
Charles Dickens (1812-1870) war ein berühmter englischer Romancier und Sozialkritiker, der weithin als einer der größten Schriftsteller des viktorianischen Zeitalters angesehen wird. Geboren in Portsmouth, England, hatte Dickens eine schwierige Kindheit, die von finanziellen Schwierigkeiten geprägt war, die später einen großen Teil seines Werkes beeinflussten. Dickens wurde mit seinen Fortsetzungsromanen berühmt und war bekannt für seine Fähigkeit, Humor, scharfe soziale Beobachtungen und zutiefst menschliche Charaktere miteinander zu verbinden. Heute wird Dickens nicht nur für seine fesselnden Erzählungen gefeiert, sondern auch für seinen nachhaltigen Einfluss auf Literatur und Gesellschaft.
