Résumé

Uno dei primi libri di Charles Dickens fu "Nicholas Nickleby", la storia del protagonista eponimo che, dopo la perdita del padre, deve badare alla madre e alla sorella. Si trasferiscono insieme a Londra per vivere con lo zio di Nicholas. Tuttavia lo zio Ralph nutre rancore nei confronti di Nicholas e fa poco per aiutare la sua famiglia. Il crudele maestro Wackford Squeers, ignobile e sgradevole, si basava su una persona reale, che Dickens decise di inserire nel romanzo dopo aver visitato la scuola dove insegnava. Come in tanti libri di Dickens, sono molti i personaggi pittoreschi presenti in "Nicholas Nickleby" e tutti insieme rappresentano il lato senza cuore della società vittoriana.

Auteur

Charles Dickens (auteur)

Charles Dickens was an English novelist and social critic known for creating iconic fictional characters. He is considered one of the greatest Victorian-era novelists. His works, such as "A Christmas Carol," "Oliver Twist," and "Great Expectations," are frequently adapted and evoke images of early Victorian London. Dickens drew inspiration from his own experiences, including his father's imprisonment for debt. He began his career as a journalist and writer in his early twenties, and his unique style and humor quickly gained him fame. Dickens was also known for his philanthropy and advocacy for social issues. He made a trip to the United States and Canada in 1842 and expressed his condemnation of slavery. Dickens's novels often depicted the struggles of the poor and disadvantaged, challenging societal norms and advocating for change. Despite some criticism of his sentimentality, Dickens's popularity remained strong, and he is regarded as one of the greatest British novelists. He left a lasting legacy, with museums and festivals dedicated to his life and works.
