Vie et aventures de Martin Chuzzlewit - Tome II: Un roman de Charles Dickens

by Charles Dickens

Overview

Présentation de l'éditeur L'intrigue de ce roman comporte une action principale, les relations entre les deux Martin, le grand-père Chuzzlewit et son petit-fils, avec M. Pecksniff servant de point focal. Sur quoi se greffe une action secondaire autour de la branche avunculaire des Chuzzlewit, centrée sur Anthony, le frère, et surtout Jonas, le neveu. L'aventure américaine n'est que diversion temporaire de l'action principale, et les va et vient amoureux des jeunes personnages apparaissent comme ses prolongements romanesques. Biographie de l'auteur Charles John Huffam Dickens, né à Landport, près de Portsmouth, dans le Hampshire, le 7 février 1812 et mort à Gad's Hill Place, Higham, Kent, le 9 juin 1870, est considéré comme le plus grand romancier de l'époque victorienne.

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.
