Résumé

'His characters are marvellous, his insights wonderful ... You don't expect reality but you get something bigger and better' Ruth RendellThe Old Curiosity Shop was an instant bestseller that, even while it was criticized for its sentimentality, captured the hearts of the nation with its portrayal of little Nell Trent, who is thrown into a terrifying world when her beloved grandfather is unable to pay his debts to the loathsome Quilp. Alongside the pathos of the innocent, tragic Nell are some of Dickens's greatest characters: the ne'er-do'well Dick Swiveller, the mannish lawyer Sally Brass, the half-starved 'Marchioness' and the lustful Quilp himself, a creation of demonic power and cruelty. ©2020 Pandora's Box (P)2020 Pandora's Box

Auteur

Charles Dickens (auteur)

Né en 1812 et mort en 1870, Charles Dickens est l'un des romanciers anglais les plus populaires dans le monde entier. Issu d'une famille très modeste, Charles Dickens souffre beaucoup de sa condition. Ces difficultés seront la source d'inspiration de la plupart de ses oeuvres, dont les plus connues sont Les aventures de M. Pickwick, David Copperfield et Oliver Twist.
