Two sisters, Grace and Marion, live happily in an English village with their two servants, Clemency Newcome and Ben Britain, and their good-natured widower father Dr Jeddler. Dr Jeddler is a man whose philosophy is to treat life as a farce. Marion, the younger sister, is betrothed to Albert Heathfield, Jeddler's ward who is leaving the village to complete his studies. He entrusts Marion to Grace's care and makes a promise to return to win Marion's hand. The Battle of Life: A Love Story is a novella by Charles Dickens, first published in 1846. It is the fourth of his five "Christmas Books", coming after The Cricket on the Hearth and followed by The Haunted Man and the Ghost's Bargain. The setting is an English village that stands on the site of an historic battle. Some characters refer to the battle as a metaphor for the struggles of life, hence the title. Battle is the only one of the five Christmas Books that has no supernatural or explicitly religious elements. (One scene takes place at Christmas time, but it is not the final scene.) The story bears some resemblance to The Cricket on the Hearth in two respects: it has a non-urban setting, and it is resolved with a romantic twist. It is even less of a social novel than is Cricket. As is typical with Dickens, the ending is a happy one.

Världens mest lästa bok om julen berättar historien om Ebenezer Scrooge, snål och elak kapitalist som genomgår total omvändelse och blir en god man, efter att ha hemsökts av spöken på julaftonsnatten. En julsaga [1843] är Charles Dickens överlägset mest berömda verk. Ett flertal gånger har den också filmatiserats och dramatiserats, i regel som ett enkelt spel om moral. Men det märkliga sätt på vilket människorna omkring huvudpersonen ter sig lika overkliga som spöken, fram till dess att Scrooge träffas av sin hårda insikt, gör den här korta romanen till en unik psykologisk resa.

Halvin toimitettuna 13,70 €

One of Dickens’s finest novels, Great Expectations chronicles the fortunes of its young protagonist Pip as he is unexpectedly endowed by a mysterious benefactor with the life of a gentleman, enabling him to escape to London from the prospect of a humble blacksmith’s career in rural Kent. In the bustling, unforgiving capital he must learn for himself the pitfalls of love and wealth, and how to sort his friends from his enemies. Through the lives of its unforgettable and iconic characters – such as Magwitch, Miss Havisham and Estella – Great Expectations charts the course of an England undergoing rapid social and economic change, and tells a tale that is among the foremost classics of the English language.

Les Temps difficiles est le dixi me roman de Charles Dickens, un court roman paru, non en publications mensuelles comme les pr c dents, mais en feuilleton hebdomadaire dans sa revue Household Words, du 1er avril au 12 ao t 1854. Roman social, il est situ dans la ville fictive de Coketown (image de Manchester, le grand centre textile, et de Preston o Dickens a s journ durant la gr ve de janvier 1854) et montre les difficult s d'adaptation des deux classes sociales (la bourgeoisie d'affaire et les ouvriers) la nouvelle conomie issue de la r volution industrielle. L'auteur y d peint avec un r alisme d nonciateur une classe ouvri re asservie, mis rable et moutonni re, abrutie par le travail r p titif, livr e aux d magogues professionnels, que domine une bourgeoisie pragmatique et utilitariste, avide de profits et de pouvoir, persuad e de la nature quasi divine de ses droits et forte de la bonne conscience qu'elle puise dans les lois de l' conomie de march , mais dont il analyse les alibis et pr sente les travers avec une ironie mordante.
