About this ebook
Die Pickwickier ist der erste Roman von Charles Dickens. Der humoristische Roman, den Dickens mit 23 Jahren veröffentlichte, machte ihn praktisch über Nacht berühmt. Hauptfigur des Romans ist der Gelehrte Samuel Pickwick, Gründer und Präsident des Pickwick-Klubs. Um neue Erkenntnisse zu sammeln, unternimmt er zusammen mit den Klubmitgliedern Tracy Tupman, Augustus Snodgrass und Nathaniel Winkle zahlreiche Reisen innerhalb Englands. Beinah episodenhaft und mit viel Humor und Situationskomik schildert Charles Dickens dabei die zu bestehenden Abenteuer. Durch die Berufung auf die (fiktiven) Protokolle des Pickwick-Klubs verleiht er seiner Geschichte Authentizität.
About the author
Charles Dickens was born on 7th February 1812 in Portsmouth and grew up in London and Kent. His father was sent to a debtor's prison following financial difficulties and the young Dickens was sent temporarily to work in a boot blacking factory, until an inheritance allowed his return to school - however, he never forgot this formative experience. Dickens wrote many novels including A Tale of Two Cities, The Pickwick Papers, A Christmas Carol and Great Expectations. A leading celebrity of the Victorian Age, his short story The Signalman was likely based on a crash involving a train that Dickens was travelling on, with his mistress. Charles Dickens died in 1870.
