15 ottob 1870 anni - Charles Dickens
Descrizione:
"The Pickwick Papers" was first published as monthly episodes in a magazine and was an instant success. Dickens wasn't just a gifted storyteller but he was also a writer with a social conscience. In particular, he describes how poverty and corruption affected ordinary people's lives. This can be seen in such classics as "Oliver Twist", "David Copperfield", "Great Expectations". Dickens had a special talent for giving his characters memorable and appropriate-sounding names, such as Gradgrind, Heep, and Bumble.
“My heart is set, as firmly as ever heart of man was set on woman. I have no thought, no view, no hope, in life beyond her; and if you oppose me in this great stake, you take my peace and happiness in your hands, and cast them to the wind.”
― Charles Dickens, Oliver Twist
