Böcker av Charles Dickens

Charles Dickens wrote a book titled Life and Adventures of Martin Chuzzlewit, often referred to as Martin Chuzzlewit and regarded as the final of his picaresque works. The first serialization took place between 1842 and 1844. Dickens admitted to a friend that he thought it was his best piece to date while also admitting that, based on the sales of the monthly installments, it was one of his least well-liked books. Famous characters from this book include Pecksniff and Mrs. Gamp. Martin Chuzzlewit, like almost all of Dickens's books, was initially released in monthly portions. Dickens revised the plot to send the title character to America since early sales of the monthly sections were lower than those of earlier works. In part as an unsuccessful effort to persuade US publishers to abide by international copyright regulations, Dickens traveled to America in 1842. He mocked the nation as being full of self-promotional hucksters who were eager to buy land without having seen it first. He clarified in a speech that it was satire and not a fair portrayal of the country in later editions and after his second visit to the greatly transformed US 24 years later.

The stage drama and book No Thoroughfare, by Charles Dickens and Wilkie Collins, were both published in December 1867. No Thoroughfare: A Drama: In Five Acts was a theatre drama written in 1867 by Charles Dickens and Wilkie Collins. Previously, the two had worked together on the play The Frozen Deep. Dickens' final stage production was this one; he passed away in June 1870. On December 26, 1867, the drama had its premiere at the Adelphi Theatre. The first edition of Dickens' book No Thoroughfare appeared in the Christmas issue of his magazine All the Year Round in 1867. Other books from Dickens's mature writings, like Little Dorrit (1857) and Our Mutual Friend, have similar themes to this one (1865). An early instance of commercial merchandising, the story's publication in All The Year Round promoted both the play to those who had read the book and the story to those who were aware of the theatrical production. The book's chapters, which are referred to as "acts," correspond to the scenes in the play. The narrative includes skillfully worded descriptions, diverse and well-drawn people, unsettling and exotic settings, mystery, partially revealed identities, near-death experiences, romance, and the ultimate triumph of Good over Evil.

The Origin of Species was written by Charles Darwin and published in 1859. This book brought order to the world of organisms. Darwin not only supported the notion of transformation of species, but also was able to suggest a mechanism by which such evolution could occur without recourse to other than purely natural causes. According to his theory of natural selection, minute variations in offspring are either favoured or eliminated in the competition for survival. This brought the idea of evolution to be perceived with great clarity.This book is a work of scientific literature that is considered to be the foundation of evolutionary biology. Darwin?s book introduced the theory that populations evolve over the course of generations through a process of natural selection. Upon its publication, the book attracted widespread interest. Already regarded as a scientist, Darwin?s findings were taken seriously and the evidence he presented generated scientific, philosophical, and religious discussion. His concept of evolutionary adaptation through natural selection became central to modern evolutionary theory, and it has now become the unifying concept of the life sciences.

A gripping portrayal of London's dark criminal underbelly.Starved and mistreated, empty bowl in hand, the young hero musters the courage to approach his master, saying, ""Please, sir, I want some more."" Oliver Twist's famous cry of the heart has resounded with readers since the novel's initial appearance in 1837, and the book remains a popular favorite with fans of all ages.Dickens was no stranger to the pain of hunger and the degradation of poverty. He poured his own youthful experience of Victorian London's unspeakable squalor into this realistic depiction of the link between destitution and crime. Oliver escapes his miserable servitude by running away to London, where he unwillingly but inevitably joins a scabrous gang of thieves. Masterminded by the loathsome Fagin, the underworld crew features some of Dickens' most memorable characters, including the juvenile pickpocket known as the Artful Dodger, the vicious Bill Sikes, and gentle Nancy, an angel of self-sacrifice.Combining elements of Gothic Romance, the Newgate Novel and popular melodrama, Dickens created an entirely new kind of fiction, scathing in its indictment of a cruel society, and pervaded by an unforgettable sense of threat and mystery.

Longtemps retardé par divers démêlés éditoriaux, il est finalement rassemblé en un seul volume par Chapman & Hall avec son titre définitif. C'est le premier essai de Dickens dans le genre historique, le second étant A Tale of Two Cities (Le Conte de deux cités), publié en 1859 et situé au temps de la Révolution française.

Pourtant, il ne figure pas au palmarès des ¿uvres les plus appréciées de Dickens3 et a été peu exploité par la caméra, puisqu'existent seulement un film muet réalisé en 1915 et une adaptation produite par la BBC en 1960..

The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club (also known as The Pickwick Papers) was Charles Dickens's first book. Because of his fame with Sketches by Boz published in 1836, Dickens was asked by the editor "cockney sporting plates" by illustrator Robert Seymour, and to connect them into a novel. The novel became Britain's first real event, with unlawful copies. Pickwick is basically a significant novel, but its sincere features showed in comic form. Not that Dickens bounds the book lovers enjoy the sour taste of life with sweet essence of comedy. The valuable morals are exactly those that knitted well with humour.

Charles Dickens published a book titled The Battle of Life: A Love Story in 1846. After 'The Cricket on the Hearth'' and'' The Haunted Man and the Ghost's Bargain, it is the fourth of his five "Christmas Books." An English village that is located on the location of a famous battle serves as the backdrop. The title comes from some characters who use the war as a metaphor for life's challenges. Of the five Christmas Books, only the fight lacks overtly magical or religious overtones. (A Christmas-themed sequence occurs, but it's not the last scene.) The story has two aspects in common with The Cricket on the Hearth: a non-urban setting, and a romantic twist in how it is resolved. Compared to Cricket, it is much less of a social novel. Dickens usually has a happy ending, and this is no exception. In contrast to the other Dickens' Christmas Books, it is one of the author's lesser-known works and has never gained a high level of popularity.

A Christmas Carol. In Prose. Being a Ghost Story of Christmas, ordinarily known as A Christmas Carol, is a novella by Charles Dickens, first distributed in London by Chapman and Hall in 1843 and outlined by John Leech. A Christmas Carol recaps the narrative of Ebenezer Scrooge, an older recluse who is visited by the phantom of his previous colleague Jacob Marley and the spirits of Christmas Past, Present but to Come. After their visits, Scrooge is changed into a kinder, gentler man. Dickens composed A Christmas Carol during a period when the British were investigating and reconsidering past Christmas customs, including songs, and fresher traditions, for example, Christmas cards and Christmas trees. He was affected by the encounters of his own childhood and by the Christmas accounts of different creators, including Washington Irving and Douglas Jerrold. Dickens had composed three Christmas stories preceding the novella, and was motivated following a visit to the Field Lane Ragged School, one of a few foundations for London's road kids. The treatment of poor people and the capacity of an egotistical man to make up for himself by changing into a more thoughtful person are the vital subjects of the story. There is conversation among scholastics with regards to whether this is a completely common story, or on the other hand assuming it is a Christian purposeful anecdote.
