The Uncommercial Traveller is a collection of literary sketches and reminiscences written by Charles Dickens, published in 1860-1861. In 1859 Dickens founded a new journal called All the Year Round, and the "Uncommercial Traveller" articles would be among his main contributions. He seems to have chosen the title and persona of the Uncommercial Traveller as a result of a speech he gave on 22 December 1859 to the Commercial Travellers' School in London, in his role as honorary chairman and treasurer. The persona sits well with a writer who liked to travel, not only as a tourist, but also to research and report what he found visiting Europe, America and giving book readings throughout Britain. He did not seem content to rest late in his career when he had attained wealth and comfort and continued travelling locally, walking the streets of London in the mould of the flâneur, a "gentleman stroller of city streets".

Siendo Pirrip el apellido de mi padre, y Philip mi nombre de pila, mi lengua infantil no alcanzó a hacer de ambas palabras nada más largo ni más explícito que Pip. Así, yo me llamé a mí mismo Pip, y por Pip vine a ser conocido de los demás. Digo que Pirrip era el apellido de mi padre, fundándome en la autoridad de su losa sepulcral y en la de mi hermana, la señora Joe Gargery, casada con el herrero. Como nunca vi a mi padre ni a mi madre, ni retrato alguno suyo (pues vivieron mucho antes de inventarse la fotografía), mis primeras imaginaciones acerca de cómo habrían sido ellos nacieron, yo no sé por qué, de la contemplación de sus lápidas sepulcrales. La forma de las letras en la de mi padre me dio la extraña idea de que había sido un hombre recio, cuadrado, moreno, con el pelo negro y rizado. De los caracteres y estilo de la inscripción «Y Georgiana, esposa del arriba dicho», saqué la pueril deducción de que mi madre había sido pecosa y enfermiza. A las cinco pequeñas losas, de pie y medio de largo cada una, dispuestas en ordenada fila al lado de la sepultura y consagradas a la memoria de cinco hermanos míos (que abandonaron prematuramente la lucha por la vida), debo la creencia, que he conservado religiosamente, de que todos ellos habían nacido tumbados de espaldas con las manos en los bolsillos, y jamás, mientras estuvieron en este mundo, las habían sacado de allí.

Con frecuencia paseo por la noche. En verano salgo de casa por la mañana y paso el día vagando por campos y veredas; a veces, me ausento varios días o semanas enteras. Pero, si no estoy en el campo, raras veces salgo antes del anochecer. Sin embargo, y doy las gracias al cielo, me encanta la luz del día y, como a todo ser vivo, me llena de alegría verla esparcida sobre la faz de la Tierra. He adoptado este hábito inconscientemente porque se aviene bien con mi enfermedad y me ofrece más posibilidades de especular sobre el carácter y ocupaciones de quienes van por la calle. La claridad y el trajín del mediodía no se adaptan a este tipo de especulaciones ociosas. El vislumbre de una cara a la luz de una farola o de un escaparate conviene mejor a mi propósito que la revelación a la plena luz del día; y, si debo decir la verdad, la noche es más amable a este respecto que el día, el cual, sin la menor ceremonia ni remordimiento, destruye los castillos construidos en el aire en el momento mismo de ser terminados.

An exquisitely illustrated, luxury collector's edition of Dicken's holiday tale. This beautiful edition of Charles Dickens's perennial seasonal favorite offers exquisite illustrations of Marley's ghost, Bob Cratchit's slide down icy Cornhill, Mr. and Mrs. Fezziwig's dance, and Ebenezer Scrooge himself. Arthur Rackham's color wash drawings and silhouettes, first published during the First World War, bring a threatening and haunting atmosphere to Scrooge's ghostly story. Rackham was a leading illustrator in the golden age of book illustration when groundbreaking techniques for color printing were developing fast. He illustrated over sixty books and specialized in children's classics and fairy tales. This landmark edition of A Christmas Carol helped to consolidate the idea of the Dickensian Christmas and the tradition of the Christmas gift book. It is a beautiful version of a classic story, which never ceases to be relevant to our times.

Above Lifes Turmoil is basically a self-help and inspirational book by James Allen. For the starters, a self-help book is one that is written with the intention to instruct its readers on solving personal problems. Comprising twenty chapters related to various aspects that could shape individuals personality, if followed in true spirit, the book talks about changing internal things and leading a vibrant life. What waits the readers can be gauged in books foreword by author that states: We cannot alter external things, nor shape other people to our liking, nor mould the world to our wishes but we can alter internal things,-our desires, passions, thoughts,-we can shape our liking to other people, and we can mould the inner world of our own mind in accordance with wisdom, and so reconcile it to the outer world if men and things...The first chapter titled True Happiness illustrates: A sweet and happy soul is the ripened fruit of experience and wisdom, and it sheds abroad the invisible yet powerful aroma of its influence, gladdening the hearts of others, and purifying the world.

Hard Times is one of the most popular novels by Charles Dickens. First published in 1854, the book chronicles the then English society and satirizes the socio- economic conditions of the era. It is the shortest of Dickens?s novels in which the story is set in the fictitious Victorian industrial Coketown, One is easily carried away by its description in the novel that says, ?It was a town of red brick, or of brick that would have been red if the smoke and ashes had allowed it?? Hard Times has been one of Dickens? best-sellers and widely taught in schools.The novel was serialized before the complete volume of the book was published. Hard Times follows a classical three-way structure in which first part of the book is entitled ?Sowing?, second part is ?Reaping?, and the third is ?Garnering.? In order to expose his views on the right of the common man, Dickens uses the character of Sleary, proprietor of Sleary?s Circus.

Charles Dickens was a writer and social critic who created some of the world's best-known fictional characters and is regarded as the greatest novelist of the Victorian era. His novel Hard Times is regarded as one of the most popular work of the 19th century. It is Dickens' harshest indictment of mid-19th-century industrial practices and their dehumanizing effects, this novel offers a fascinating tapestry of Victorian life, filled with the richness of detail, brilliant characterization, and passionate social concern that typify the novelist's finest creations. In the grim background of Coketown, a wretched community shadowed by an industrial behemoth, the children sink into lives of desperation and despair. Louisa falls into a loveless marriage with Josiah Bouderby, a vulgar banker, while the unscrupulous Tom, totally lacking in principle, becomes a thief who frames an innocent man for his crime. Witnessing the degradation and downfall of his children, Gradgrind realizes that his own misguided principles have ruined their lives.

La femme de M. Dombey, riche négociant orgueilleux, vient d'accoucher d'un garçon. Un garçon ! enfin il a un héritier qui saura reprendre son affaire. Certes, il avait déjà une fille, Florence, mais une fille... Malheureusement, son épouse décède des suites de cet accouchement, et M. Dombey met tout son attachement et ses espoirs dans Paul, son fils tandis qu'il n'a jamais éprouvé pour sa fille que gêne et indifférence. D'ailleurs, les liens entre Paul et Florence le dérangent. Mais le petit Paul a une constitution faible, et quand il est placé dans une institution à l'éducation stricte, sa santé résiste mal à cet environnement... Évoquant le monde du commerce, le thème principal de ce roman est le châtiment de l'orgueil. Tombant parfois à la limite du mélodrame, ce roman n'en est pas moins l'occasion pour Dickens d'évoquer toute une galerie de personnages pittoresques avec cet humour si caractéristique.
