درباره نویسنده

Charles Dickens (1812–1870) remains a towering figure in the world of English literature, renowned for his acute social commentary and inventive narrative structure. Born in Portsmouth, England, Dickens experienced the sting of poverty in his youth, an ordeal that profoundly influenced his writing and instigated his advocacy for social reform. His literary career commenced with the publication of 'The Pickwick Papers' in 1836, rapidly establishing Dickens as a household name. 'Selections from "Christmas Stories"' is a testament to his mastery in capturing the festive spirit while underscoring the moral undercurrents of the Victorian era, intertwining themes of charity, redemption, and the joys and tribulations of human life. Dickens's innovative use of character and plot, alongside his serial publication of novels, garnered a readership that extended beyond the literate elite to include the masses, an achievement that cemented his legacy as a writer of the people. His characters, from the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge in 'A Christmas Carol' to the benevolent Mr. Brownlow in 'Oliver Twist,' endure in cultural memory, and his literary style—combining humor, satire, and melodrama—has influenced countless authors. Dickens's prolific output, including 'David Copperfield,' 'Great Expectations,' and 'Bleak House,' continues to be celebrated for its imaginative richness and its critical eye on societal ills.
