It is impossible to overstate the importance of British novelist CHARLES DICKENS (1812-1870) not only to literature in the English language, but to Western civilization on the whole. He is arguably the first fiction writer to have become an international celebrity. He popularized episodic fiction and the cliffhanger, which had a profound influence on the development of film and television.

It is impossible to overstate the importance of British novelist CHARLES DICKENS (1812-1870) not only to literature in the English language, but to Western civilization on the whole. He is arguably the first fiction writer to have become an international celebrity. He popularized episodic fiction and the cliffhanger, which had a profound influence on the development of film and television. He is entirely responsible for the popular image of Victorian London that still lingers today, and his characters-from Oliver Twist to Ebenezer Scrooge, from Miss Havisham to Uriah Heep-have become not merely iconic, but mythic. But it was his stirring portraits of ordinary people-not the upper classes or the aristocracy-and his fervent cries for social, moral, and legal justice for the working poor, and in particular for poor children, in the grim early decades of the Industrial Revolution that powerfully impacted social concerns well into the 20th century. Without Charles Dickens, we may never have seen the likes of Sherlock Holmes, Upton Sinclair, or even Bob Dylan. Here, in 30 beautiful volumes-complete with all the original illustrations-is every published word written by one of the most important writers ever. The essential collector's set will delight anyone who cherishes English literature...and who takes pleasure in constantly rediscovering its joys. This volume contains Oliver Twist, Dickens's second novel, which was serialized in Bentley's Miscellany from February 1837 to April 1839. A stunning example of the social novel-and the first novel ever to focus on a child character-it is one of Dickens's most compelling works.

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.
