Circa l’autore
Charles Dickens (1812–1870), an English writer and social critic, is often regarded as the greatest novelist of the Victorian era. His works enjoy enduring popularity due to their rich storytelling, memorable characters, and deep concern for social reform. Dickens’s literary style is characterized by humor, satire, and a keen observation of character and society. Although ‘Dickens for Children’ suggests an adaptation of his works for younger audiences, his original novels often depicted the struggles of the poor and the injustices faced by them in stark detail. Notable works include ‘Oliver Twist’ (1837), which reflects on the harsh treatment of orphans, ‘David Copperfield’ (1850), which is often considered semi-autobiographical, and ‘Great Expectations’ (1861), a profound narrative of personal development and social criticism. Dickens’s ability to intertwine entertainment with a critique of the class system and exploration of complex themes like redemption and personal growth ensured his novels’ ascent to classic status, creating a literary legacy that continues to enthral readers of all ages. His contributions extend beyond novels to include journalism, essays, and an influential presence in the development of the serialized narrative form.
