When young Charles Dickens was commissioned to write the text for a series of sporting illustrations in 1836, no one could have suspected that this journeyman task was to turn in to one of the great comic novels in English literature. After the premature death of the original illustrator, Dickens took charge of the project, which was published in monthly parts. The result is a brilliant panorama of English life in the 1830s, a cornucopia of stories and vignettes featuring dozens of vividly drawn characters. Chief among them are Mr Pickwick himself, a later day Don Quixote travelling about the country righting wrongs; and his Sancho Panza, Sam Weller, whose pithy sayings and bizarre anecdotes immediately became and remained part of national mythology. With The Pickwick Papers Dickens established himself at a single stroke as a major creative artist, revealing the depth of his human sympathies, the breadth of his interests and his extraordinary linguistic virtuosity. His first novel, published when he was 25, is his first masterpiece. The Everyman edition includes 43 illustrations by Seymour and ‘Phiz’ which accompanied the original edition and also reprints the 1907 preface by G. K. Chesterton.Одно из самых очаровательных произведений английской юмористической литературы.

In a unique creative experiment, Dickens divides the narrative between his heroine, Esther Summerson, who is psychologically interesting in her own right, and an unnamed narrator whose perspective both complements and challenges hers.

Illustrations by Hablot K. Browne (Phiz) and George Cattermole, with a new Introduction by Cedric Watts, Research Professor of English, University of Sussex.This vivid historical and political novel by Dickens is centred on the infamous ‘No Popery’ riots, instigated by Lord George Gordon, which terrorised London in 1780. Dickens’ targets are prejudice, intolerance, religious bigotry and nationalistic fervour, together with the villains who exploit these for selfish ends.His intense account of the riots is interwoven with the mysterious tale of a long-unsolved murder and with a romance involving forbidden love, treachery and heroism. Barnaby Rudge abounds in memorably strange, comic and grotesque characters. Furthermore, recent historical events have renewed its political topicality.

In The Pickwick Papers we are introduced not just to one of the greatest writers in the English language, but to some of fiction’s most endearing and memorable characters, starting with the ‘illustrious, immortal and colossal-minded’ Samuel Pickwick himself. It is a rollicking tour de force through an England on the brink of the Victorian era. Reform of government, justice and commercial life are imminent, as are rail travel, social convulsion and the death of deference, but Pickwick sails through on a tide of delirious adventure, fortifying us for the future — whatever it might throw at us.This Macmillan Collector’s Library edition is illustrated by H. K. Browne (‘Phiz’), with an afterword by Ned Halley.Designed to appeal to the book lover, the Macmillan Collector’s Library is a series of beautiful gift editions of much loved classic titles.

Written in the early part of Dickens’s career, Nicholas Nickleby (1838) is a masterly piece of comic fiction that recalls the roistering picaresque novels of the previous century. Nicholas’s adventures throw him in with some of Dickens’s most memorable characters: Wackford Squeers, the sadistic one-eyed headmaster of Dotheboys Hall; poor ill-used Smike, victim of a grim family secret; and the eccentric Crummies theatre troupe, complete with their ‘Infant Phenomenon’ — her growth stunted on a diet of gin-and-water since infancy.Often regarded as the work that established Dickens as a novelist, Nicholas Nickleby has always found a delighted and devoted readership.This edition includes the original illustrations of Hahlot K. Browne (‘Phiz’).

The backdrop to this campaigning novel is the grim industrial centre of Coketown, with its belching chimneys, purple-dyed river and hordes of downtrodden mill hands. Here headmaster Thomas Gradgrind sternly prepares his pupils for their pre-determined fate as industrial fodder. Facts and figures are all that he will tolerate, because he scorns ‘fancy’ and forbids any use of the imagination.Gradgrind’s own children are brought up on the same bleak doctrine. There will be tragic consequences, both for his submissive daughter Louisa and degenerate son Tom, before their father acknowledges the value of the human heart.Hard Times is Dickens’ shortest novel, yet one of his most politically controversial and hard-hitting.

‘Every idiot who goes about with «Merry Christmas» on his lips, should be boiled with his own pudding’Dickens’s story of solitary miser Ebenezer Scrooge, who is taught the true meaning of Christmas by a series of ghostly visitors, has had an enduring influence on the way we think about the season. Dickens’s other Christmas writings collected here include ‘The Story of the Goblins who Stole a Sexton’; ‘The Haunted Man’; and shorter pieces, some drawn from the ‘Christmas Stories’ that Dickens wrote annually for his weekly journals. In all of them Dickens celebrates Christmas as a time of geniality, charity and remembrance.

Ebenezer Scrooge hates Christmas. It’s all humbug to him. But will he change his ways after a series of ghostly visits one Christmas Eve?Oxford Children’s Classics presents the greatest Christmas story ever told in this eye-catching new edition which not only contains the complete and unabridged text of A Christmas Carol but also features other Christmas stories written by Charles Dickens.

The most swiftly-moving and unified of Dickens’s great novels, Oliver Twist is famous for its re-creation of the London underworld of pimps, thieves and prostitutes – and especially for the characters of Fagin, Bill Sikes, Nancy and the Artful Dodger. Contrasting them with the orphan Oliver’s friends and family, Dickens combines vivid realism and fairy-tale brilliance in a study of innocence betrayed and then triumphant. This edition reprints the original Everyman introduction by G. K. Chesterton and includes twenty-four illustrations by George Cruikshank.Самый динамичный и цельный из великих романов Диккенса, «Оливер Твист» знаменит воссозданием лондонского преступного мира сутенеров, воров и проституток — и особенно персонажами Феджина, Билла Сайкса, Нэнси и Хитрого Плута.

Great Expectations (1861) is a favourite among many Dickens readers. In addition to its endearing hero, Pip — a blacksmith’s boy, desperate to escape his humble background — the story is populated by a vivid cast of characters, from the convict Magwitch to Miss Havisham who, jilted long ago, still wears her wedding gown and, for revenge, schools the beautiful young Estella in the art of malice towards men.When Pip receives a legacy and promptly leaves for London to become a gentleman, only then does he begin learning about the gulf between appearances and reality.
