Produktbeschreibung
The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club (also known as The Pickwick Papers) was Charles Dickens's first book. Because of his fame with Sketches by Boz published in 1836, Dickens was asked by the editor "cockney sporting plates" by illustrator Robert Seymour, and to connect them into a novel. The novel became Britain's first real event, with unlawful copies. Pickwick is basically a significant novel, but its sincere features showed in comic form. Not that Dickens bounds the book lovers enjoy the sour taste of life with sweet essence of comedy. The valuable morals are exactly those that knitted well with humour. Pickwick Papers reveals the fun of travel, the happiness of good livelihood, kindness, love life and energy of a youth. Dickens realizes these facts by showing them against rather bitter realities.
Autorenporträt
Charles John Huffam Dickens (1812 - 1870) was an English writer and social critic. He created some of the world's best-known fictional characters and is regarded by many as the greatest novelist of the Victorian era. His works enjoyed unprecedented popularity during his lifetime and by the twentieth century critics and scholars had recognised him as a literary genius. His novels and short stories enjoy lasting popularity. Born in Portsmouth, Dickens left school to work in a factory when his father was incarcerated in a debtors' prison. Despite his lack of formal education, he edited a weekly journal for 20 years, wrote 15 novels, five novellas, hundreds of short stories and non-fiction articles, lectured and performed extensively, was an indefatigable letter writer and campaigned vigorously for children's rights, education and other social reforms.
