О овој е-књизи
In Charles Dickens' The Lamplighter, readers are transported into the grim and gritty world of Victorian London, where the protagonist, a lamplighter named Jack Redburn, navigates through the dark streets, both literally and metaphorically. This novella is written in Dickens' signature style, with a keen eye for detail and a social commentary on the harsh realities of the time. The vivid descriptions of the cityscape and the hardships faced by the working class create a haunting atmosphere that lingers with the reader long after the final page. The Lamplighter is a somber yet powerful reminder of the struggles faced by the marginalized members of society. Dickens' mastery of character development and intricate plot twists make this novella a must-read for anyone interested in Victorian literature. Charles Dickens, known for his iconic novels such as Great Expectations and A Tale of Two Cities, draws from his own experiences and observations of the world around him to craft a compelling narrative that delves into the complexities of class division and societal injustice. The Lamplighter is a poignant exploration of the human spirit's resilience in the face of adversity, making it a timeless classic that deserves a place on every bookshelf.
О аутору
Charles Dickens, perhaps the best British novelist of the Victorian era, was born in Portsmouth, Hampshire, England on February 7, 1812. His happy early childhood was interrupted when his father was sent to debtors' prison, and young Dickens had to go to work in a factory at age twelve. Later, he took jobs as an office boy and journalist before publishing essays and stories in the 1830s. His first novel, The Pickwick Papers, made him a famous and popular author at the age of twenty-five. Subsequent works were published serially in periodicals and cemented his reputation as a master of colorful characterization, and as a harsh critic of social evils and corrupt institutions. His many books include Oliver Twist, David Copperfield, Bleak House, Great Expectations, Little Dorrit, A Christmas Carol, and A Tale of Two Cities. Dickens married Catherine Hogarth in 1836, and the couple had nine children before separating in 1858 when he began a long affair with Ellen Ternan, a young actress. Despite the scandal, Dickens remained a public figure, appearing often to read his fiction. He died in 1870, leaving his final novel, The Mystery of Edwin Drood, unfinished.
