Charles Dickens

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Charles Dickens' by Ralph Straus is a comprehensive and engaging exploration of the life and times of one of the most celebrated figures in world literature. This biography delves into the personal history, creative process, and social influence of the man who authored classics such as 'Oliver Twist,' 'Great Expectations,' and 'A Tale of Two Cities.' Straus traces Dickens's journey from a difficult childhood and his formative experiences in a blacking factory to his meteoric rise as a literary superstar and social reformer.The work examines the dualities of Dickens's character-his boundless energy and public charisma contrasted with his private complexities.

By illuminating the connection between Dickens's real-world observations and his fictional universes, Straus helps readers understand how Dickens captured the spirit of nineteenth-century London. This biography serves as an insightful resource for students of English literature and anyone seeking to understand the enduring legacy of the man often called the 'Inimitable.'
