( ) In these papers, published in 'All The Year Round' between 1860 and 1870, Dickens at last achieved the status of an essayist in the Addison/Steele/Johnson tradition to which he had aspired ever since 'Master Humphrey's Clock'. Whether dealing with an outward-bound shipload of Mormons, a children's hospital, a cheap London theatre, a nightmare birthday-party or a mysterious human comedy glimpsed at a window in Strassburg, he is as passionate, as obsessive, as observant, as mannered and (especially on food and drink) as hilarious as ever; but the colouring is more subdued than of old, and sadness and sorrow for the irretrievable past are never far away. This is the 'Library Edition' of the 1870s, with illustrations after Marcus Stone, G. J. Pinwell and others. This is a 1870s edition of Dickens´articles and sketches for his journal All Year Around. Suffering from insomnia, the author goes wandering the streets of London at night-time and incorporates whatever he gathers in sketches, some of which he includes in this magnificent book written during the period 1860-1869. This edition is also decorated with four extraordinary and quite realistic illustrations. Unfortunately, we are not given the name of the artist. But... hold on, is that the author himself in the third illustration? Zeige 5 von 5 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

HTML: Taking a cue from his love of pleasure travel and people-watching, in 1860 Charles Dickens developed a new persona he called the "Uncommercial Traveller." In the series of essays written from this perspective, Dickens describes his long, leisurely walks around London and occasional jaunts to other locales. This charming collection highlights Dickens attention to detail and his keen powers of observation. .Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
