內容簡介

Intimately rooted in the author's own biography and written as a first-person narrative， this work charts a young man's progress through a difficult childhood in Victorian England to ultimate success as a novelist， finding true love along the way.

作者簡介

Charles Dickens was born in a little house in Landport, Portsea, England, on February 7, 1812. The second of eight children, he grew up in a family frequently beset by financial insecurity. At age eleven, Dickens was taken out of school and sent to work in London backing warehouse, where his job was to paste labels on bottles for six shillings a week. His father John Dickens, was a warmhearted but improvident man. When he was condemned the Marshela Prison for unpaid debts, he unwisely agreed that Charles should stay in lodgings and continue working while the rest of the family joined him in jail. This three-month separation caused Charles much pain; his experiences as a child alone in a huge city–cold, isolated with barely enough to eat–haunted him for the rest of his life.

When the family fortunes improved, Charles went back to school, after which he became an office boy, a freelance reporter and finally an author. With Pickwick Papers (1836-7) he achieved immediate fame; in a few years he was easily the post popular and respected writer of his time. It has been estimated that one out of every ten persons in Victorian England was a Dickens reader. Oliver Twist (1837), Nicholas Nickleby (1838-9) and The Old Curiosity Shop (1840-41) were huge successes. Martin Chuzzlewit (1843-4) was less so, but Dickens followed it with his unforgettable, A Christmas Carol (1843), Bleak House (1852-3), Hard Times (1854) and Little Dorrit (1855-7) reveal his deepening concern for the injustices of British Society. A Tale of Two Cities (1859), Great Expectations (1860-1) and Our Mutual Friend (1864-5) complete his major works.

Dickens’s marriage to Catherine Hoggarth produced ten children but ended in separation in 1858. In that year he began a series of exhausting public readings; his health gradually declined. After putting in a full day’s work at his home at Gads Hill, Kent on June 8, 1870, Dickens suffered a stroke, and he died the following day.

精彩書評

“David Copperfield [is] the most poetic of all Dickens’ novels . . . Not only was he revealing to his readers in the earlier chapters his ‘hard experiences in boyhood’ and his scorching first experience of passionate love， he was also sharing with them his own understanding of the roots of the art that had taken them by storm and to which they were in thrall even as they read about it.” –From the Introduction by Michael Slater

書籍是很好的，美中不足的一點是書裏麵有一頁印刷裝訂的時候有一點點摺痕，不影響閱讀，考慮到這個價位，也算值瞭。

"Howards End is undoubtedly Forster's masterpiece; it develops to their full the themes and attitudes of [his] early books and throws back upon them a new and enhancing light，" wrote the critic Lionel Trilling.

英文原版，以前看過中文版，現在收一本英文版。全書采用第一人稱敘事，其中融進瞭作者本人的許多生活經曆。狄更斯齣身社會底層，祖父、祖母都長期在剋魯勛爵府當傭人。父親約翰是海軍軍需處職員，在狄更斯十二歲那年，因負債無力償還，帶纍妻子兒女和他一起住進瞭馬夏爾西債務人監獄。當時狄更斯在泰晤士河畔的華倫黑鞋油作坊當童工，比他大兩歲的姐姐範妮在皇傢音樂學院學習，全傢人中隻有他倆沒有在獄中居住。父親齣獄後，狄更斯曾一度進惠靈頓學校學習，不久又因傢貧而永久輟學，十五歲時進律師事務所當學徒。後來，他學會速記，被倫敦民事律師議會聘為審案記錄員。一八三一至一八三二年間，狄更斯先後擔任《議會鏡報》和《真陽報》派駐議會的記者。這些經曆有助於他日後走上寫作的道路。他一生所受學校教育不足四年，他的成功全靠自己的天纔、勤奮以及艱苦生活的磨練。一八三六年，狄更斯終於以長篇小說《匹剋威剋外傳》而名滿天下，當時他年僅二十四歲。

一本書給人帶來的改變，很大程度上取決於它給予你的震撼程度以及你願意為之付齣的嘗試。所以對一位作傢來說，平庸就是犯錯。如果說沒有什麼比思想的改變更能給人帶來巨大的變化，那麼平庸的文字和流水般的文字就是最大的罪過，哪怕你已經深入到瞭思想的深處，如果你不能以一種完全嶄新的視角將之呈現於讀者麵前，那麼大多數人就會錯過，不可避免地錯過。我對這本書的第一印象為：教科書式的高考作文寫作模闆。書中許多精彩的句子也不能掩蓋其濃濃的高中生作文的味道。不知怎的，你覺得特彆深刻的道理，映入讀者的眼簾就變成瞭無關痛癢的流水賬，這真是一位作傢的失敗。或許是因為最近重溫瞭劉瑜早期的文字，一時間難以接受兩者的差距，感覺書中缺少瞭那份「纔氣」。就買人人齣版的非常好
