A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur :

Charles Dickens About the Author English writer Charles John Huffam Dickens (1812 – 1870) created some of the world's best-known fictional characters including David Copperfield, Oliver Twist and Scrooge. He is regarded by some as the greatest novelist of the Victorian era. He was born in Portsmouth and left school to work in a factory when his father was jailed over debts. Despite his lack of education, Dickens edited a weekly journal for 20 years and wrote 15 novels and five novellas. Dickens's success began with the 1836 serial publication of The Pickwick Papers. Within a few years he had become an international celebrity, famous for his humour, satire, and observations of society. His plots were carefully constructed, and he often wove elements from topical events into his narratives. His 1843 novella, A Christmas Carol, remains popular and continues to inspire adaptations in every artistic genre. Oliver Twist and Great Expectations are also frequently adapted. His 1859 novel, A Tale of Two Cities, set in London and Paris, is his best-known work of historical fiction. Dickens's creative genius has been praised by Leo Tolstoy, George Orwell and G. K. Chesterton, among many other writers, for its realism, comedy, and social criticism. The term "Dickensian" is used to describe something that is reminiscent of Dickens and his writings, such as poor social conditions.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
