Charles Dickens

Opis

'Bleak House', Dickens's most daring experiment in the narration of a complex plot, challenges the reader to make connections - between the fashionable & the outcast, the beautiful & the ugly, the powerful & the victims. Nowhere in Dickens's later novels is his attack on an uncaring society more imaginatively embodied.

Recenzje

Perhaps Bleak House is his best novel. . . . When Dickens wrote Bleak House he had grown up. G. K. Chesterton

Charles Dickens was born on 7 February 1812. He is the author of such Classics as Oliver Twist, Nicholas Nickleby, The Old Curiosity Shop, A Christmas Carol and David Copperfield. In later works, such as Bleak House and Little Dorrit, Dickens's social criticism became more radical and his comedy more savage.
