Description:
Charles Dickens's satirical masterpiece, The Pickwick ì
Papers, catapulted the young writer into literary fame when ì
it was first serialized in 1836-37. It recounts the rollicking ì
adventures of the members of the Pickwick Club as they travel ì
about England getting into all sorts of mischief. Laugh-out-loud ì
funny and endlessly entertaining, the book also reveals Dickens's ì
burgeoning interest in the parliamentary system, lawyers, the ì
Poor Laws, and the ills of debtors' prisons. As G. K. Chesterton ì
noted, "Before [Dickens] wrote a single real story, he had a kind ì
of vision . . . a map full of fantastic towns, thundering ì
coaches, clamorous market-places, uproarious inns, strange and ì
swaggering figures. That vision was Pickwick."
This book is new.
