Sinossi
Con Il Circolo Pickwick, capolavoro dell’umorismo, Dickens conquista una popolarità straordinaria. Pubblicato a dispense mensili, dalle 400 copie della prima puntata passò in breve tempo alle 40.000. La trama è poco più d’un pretesto per mettere in scena una città e il brulichío incessante dei suoi abitanti: gentiluomini e ciarlatani, impiegati, sguatteri, burocrati e vetturini affollano le strade “alte” di Londra e i suoi quartieri poveri, sciamano tra i suoi palazzi, le locande, gli uffici, il tribunale e anche il carcere. Se ne ricava l’immagine idealizzata e nostalgica di un’Inghilterra eccentrica e cordiale, estrosa e ricca di umanità, non ancora frammentata nonostante l’affermarsi sempre più vistoso delle divisioni di classe.

The Pickwick Papers was the first novel by Charles Dickens but I’ve read it last. I was always afraid to start but once I did it proved to be a real pageturner for me. There sat the man who had traced to their source the mighty ponds of Hampstead, and agitated the scientific world with his Theory of Leggi tutto
Oh god this was such a long read, the problem is I didn't realize going into it that Charles Dickens originally published this as a series over time and so I read the whole freaking thing at once and honestly there's only so much of this one can read at once and still enjoy. The writing itself was r Leggi tutto

The well penned chronicles of the members of the Pickwick Club… a steady stream of comedy, intrigue, dalliances, crime, debtors prisons and love… a truly astounding feat for a first novel, but Charles Dickens did go on to write so much more, so just a Three Star read for me. 5 out of 12. I was proba Leggi tutto
The Pickwick Papers promised heft. Weighing in at 900 pages and larded with indices and erudite observations, the project promised muscle training, if nothing else. The serial natural of the narrative and general zany approach was also apprehended. I simply wasn't prepared, however, for Sam Weller.
Oh Dickens! Reading this book was quite the journey! There were moments when I loved it, and there were moments when I didn't. It was a joy to see the charm of Dickens take shape in this book. His humor was wonderful as expected, and his ability to create unique caricatures was utterly charming! Alth Leggi tutto
