Book ID/图书代码： 12771008B29738
English Summary/英文概要： Charles Dickens belongs to an exclusive literary club: he was immensely popular when he was alive, and his work has never fallen out of fashion. His books have been in print for over 140 years, and are widely read and admired every day, the world over. His larger than life style and over-the-top characters have inspired countless authors; his work has been adapted into plays, film and television—there are over 25 versions of A Christmas Carol alone!
A vital part of English literature’s history, Charles Dickens is a natural choice for Continuum’s Bedside treatment, and Brian Murray, an expert in Dickens and 19th- and 20th-century British literature, is the perfect tour guide into the wonderful world of all things Dickensian. Featuring countless fun facts and 175 illustrations—including photos, stills, and cartoons—this is the perfect gift for the literature lover in your life.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 在英国文学史上，十九世纪是群星灿烂的小说鼎盛时代。而在这些伟大的小说家中，狄更斯则是一颗最为光彩照人的明星。从小饱尝人间艰辛的狄更斯最同情劳苦人民和孤苦无依的孩子。狄更斯是高产作家，他凭借勤奋和天赋创作出一大批经典著作。他又是一位幽默大师，常常用妙趣横生的语言在浪漫和现产中讲述人间真相，以至于马克思也不得不赞叹地称他为“杰出的小说家”。作者专注于研究19到20世纪英国文学，书中175张插图包括照片，剧照，卡通图片。(RY)
Awards/获奖情况："A companion to Charles Dickens ought to be funny. It ought to be sad. It has to shout, and it has to whisper. It requires great illustrations and fast-moving words. It needs to be just like Dickens himself—sentimental and wise and sprawling and theatrical. It needs, in fact, to be just like Brian Murray’s Bedside, Bathtub, & Armchair Companion to Dickens."---JOSEPH BOTTUM
"The Inimitable’s strivers, wretched souls, hypocrites, jokers, eccentrics, and weirdos are here in splendid profusion; so also are the haunting settings, moral and intellectual energies, prodigiously lived times, tormented and hilarious states of mind to be found in the life and writing. This volume is a deeply satisfying way to visit and revisit the Dickens World, a place that stands in our language with the worlds of Shakespeare and Joyce."---DAVID CASTRONOVO
