Il Circolo Pickwick - Voli

by Charles Dickens

Overview

Il primo raggio di luce che viene a rompere ed a fugare le tenebre nelle quali pareva involta l'apparizione dell'immortale Pickwick sull'orizzonte del mondo scientifico, la prima menzione officiale di quest'uomo prodigioso trovasi negli statuti inseriti fra i processi verbali del Circolo. L'editore dell'opera presente è lieto di poterli mettere sotto gli occhi dei suoi lettori, come una prova della scrupolosa attenzione, dello studio diuturno, dell'acume, che hanno sempre accompagnato le sue ricerche nella farraggine dei documenti affidati alle sue cure.

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.
