Denkwürdigkeiten des Pickwick-Klubs: DeWest Collection

by Charles Dickens

Overview

Den ersten Lichtstrahl, der die Nacht erhellt und das Dunkel, in das die frühere Geschichte der öffentlichen Laufbahn des unsterblichen Pickwick eingehüllt scheint, in blendenden Glanz verwandelt, erhalten wir durch einen Blick in den nachstehenden Auszug aus den Verhandlungen des Pickwick-Klubs, den der Herausgeber dieser Papiere mit Vergnügen seinen Lesern zum offenkundigen Beweise vorlegt, mit welcher gewissenhaften Sorgfalt, unermüdlichen Beharrlichkeit und feinen Unterscheidungsgabe er die ihm anvertrauten zahlreichen und verschiedenartigen Dokumente durchforschte.

About the Author

Charles Dickens (1812-1870) is probably the greatest novelist England has ever produced, the author of such famous books as A Christmas Carol, Hard Times, Great Expectations, David Copperfield, and Oliver Twist. His innate comic genius and shrewd depictions of Victorian life — along with his indelible characters — have made his books beloved by readers the world over. Dickens was born in Landport, Portsea, England and died in Kent after suffering a stroke. The second of eight children of a family continually plagued by debt, the young Dickens came to know hunger, privation, and the horrors of the infamous debtors' prison and the evils of child labor. These unfortunate early life experiences helped shape many of his greatest works.
