My Famous writer (Charles Dickens)
Ch. Dickens is famous English novelist of the 19th century. Ch. Dickens was born in the 1812 in Portsmouth, a town in the South of England.
In 1821 his family went to London. Dickens’s father was a very clever man, but he was very poor, so the life of the family was very hard. Charles had to go to work when he was ten. For two years he worked at a small factory in London. Later he worked as a clerk in a lawyer’s office. He spent a lot of time reading and educating himself. In a few years he become a newspaper reporter. Dickens published his first book in 1836. It was a collection of sketches of London life. This was followed by his “Pickwick Papers” which made him famous. It is one of funniest books in the English language.
After “Pickwick Paper” he wrote “Oliver Twist”. In “Nicholas Nickleby” his next book, he showed an English school where the boys were starved, beaten and terrified by their schoolmaster.
Then his novels “Dombey and son”, “David Copperfield”, “Hard Times”, “Little Dorrit” and many others appeared one after another. London with its contrasts: the world of rich people and powerly. He truthfully described what he had learned in his hard childhood and youth.
Dickens’s style of writing was journalistic and most appropriate for the wide range of readers.
The works of Charles Dickens show the abounded faith of the writer in the final victory of truth and goodness over the dark forces of evil.
Dickens is one of my famous English writers, I highly value his novels for their realism, their humour, their love and sympathy for ordinary people.
Ch. Dickens died in 1870 and was buried in the Poets Corner of Westminster Abbey.
