A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

The classic critically acclaimed biography of Dickens, who many consider the greatest English writer of all time. “Notwithstanding the mass of matter that has been printed relating to Dickens and his works, the numerous ‘lives,’ ‘recollections,’ ‘reminiscences,’ ‘anecdotes,’ and so forth, we should, until we came across this volume, have been at a loss to recommend any popular life of England’s most popular novelist as being really satisfactory. The difficulty is removed by Mr. Marzial’s little book. The writer has taken the pains to sift carefully the materials ready to his hand, to preserve what was worth preserving, and to omit the rubbish. He has consequently produced a clear, intelligible, and interesting memoir, and he has further expressed fairly and temperately opinions which will, on the whole, recommend themselves to all but the most blindly devoted admirers of the author’s writings. “ -The Bookmart: A Monthly Magazine of Literary and Library, Volume 5, 1887 “A very complete and charming narrative....Nowhere out of his own works has the story of Dickens’ childhood been more pleasingly and sympathetically told than in the present volume.” -The Literary World, Volume 35; January 1887
