"One of my life's greatest tragedies is to have already read Pickwick Papers- I can't go back and read it for the first time."- Fernando Pessoa "If I must choose only one Dickens then it's his first novel. It's wonderfully funny, kind and good-natured- just like dear Mr Pickwick himself."-Edwina Currie In the picaresque series of sketches in Pickwick Papers, Charles Dickens wrote one of the masterpieces of comic fiction, and presented readers with some of the most colorful and beloved characters of all time. In Dickens' first novel, initially based on a series of illustrations, members of the eponymous club recount their various experiences and encounters as they travel around England. Without the dark themes that dominated so many of his novels, this is a refreshingly lighthearted and unabashedly fun read. Charles Dickens was 24 years old when he was asked to write the text of a series of illustrations for publication of a serial in nineteen installments. At the center of the novel are the members of The Pickwick Club; notably the head of the establishment, Mr. Samuel Pickwick; he has decided, at the outset of the book, to organize a travel society comprising of four members. At the Pickwick Club the members will be required to recount their exploits in the English countryside. As they venture out, the four men become entangled with a dizzying array of mishaps; including failed romance, debtors' prison, judicial and social injustice, and mix-ups of gargantuan heights. Warm-hearted and thoroughly entertaining, this is a wild romp through 19th Century England.

Autorenporträt
Charles Dickens (1812-1870) fue un célebre novelista y crítico social inglés, ampliamente considerado como uno de los más grandes escritores de la época victoriana. Nacido en Portsmouth, Inglaterra, Dickens vivió una infancia difícil, marcada por las penurias económicas, que más tarde influyeron en gran parte de sus escritos. Dickens saltó a la fama con sus novelas por entregas y se hizo famoso por su habilidad para combinar el humor, una aguda observación social y unos personajes profundamente humanos. Sus obras arrojan luz sobre las luchas de los pobres, los defectos de los sistemas institucionales y las grandes disparidades entre las clases sociales en la Inglaterra del siglo XIX. Hoy en día, Dickens es célebre no sólo por sus apasionantes relatos, sino también por su perdurable impacto en la literatura y la sociedad.
