Charlz Dikkens - odin iz samykh izvestnykh anglijskikh romanistov, iskusnyj rasskazchik i publitsist, che tvorchestvo javljaetsja tseloj epokhoj v razvitii mirovoj literatury. Po slovam L. N. Tolstogo, "ego knigi, proniknutye istinno khristianskim dukhom, prinesli i budut prodolzhat prinosit ochen mnogo dobra chelovechestvu". V romane "Bolshie nadezhdy", shedevre Dikkensa, rasskazana istorija molodogo Filippa Pirripa po prozvischu Pip. Mechty Pipa o karere, ljubvi i blagopoluchii v "mire dzhentlmenov" razbivajutsja v odin mig, kogda on uznaet strashnuju tajnu svoego neizvestnogo pokrovitelja, presleduemogo politsiej. Kuda zhe zavedut geroja ego bolshie nadezhdy? Nelli Trent iz romana "Lavka drevnostej" - olitsetvorenie dobroty, krotosti i samootverzhennosti. Verojatno, ni odin iz personazhej Dikkensa ne vyzyval u chitatelej takogo gorjachego sochuvstvija, kak ona. Malenkaja Nell i ee dedushka, khozjain staroj antikvarnoj lavki, vynuzhdeny na sebe ispytat vsju nespravedlivost i zhestokost mira. Eta odnovremenno skazochnaja i realistichnaja, sentimentalnaja i tragicheskaja istorija navsegda ostanetsja odnoj iz ljubimejshikh knig vo vsem mire.

Ujutnoe chtenie kholodnymi vecherami vyzovet teplye chuvstva i sozdast prazdnichnuju atmosferu. V komplekt vkhodjat 3 knigi: "Rozhdestvenskie povesti" Charlza Dikkensa i dilogija Luizy Mej Olkott "Malenkie zhenschiny. Khoroshie zheny". Luiza Mej Olkott smotrela na mir i pisala o nem tak zhe, kak i zhila, - s veroj v buduschee, s ljubovju i sostradaniem k ljudjam. Romany o semejstve March prinesli ej nebyvaluju slavu. Vernost zhiznennoj pravde i vysokim idealam, jumor i neugasimyj optimizm, prisuschie ee tvorchestvu, vsegda budut privlekat k ee knigam junykh i vzroslykh chitatelej. "Malenkie zhenschiny" - iskrennij i trogatelnyj roman o detstve i junosti chetyrekh sester. Oni soobscha spravljajutsja s trudnostjami, ispytyvajut goresti i radosti, mechtajut o buduschem i prokhodjat neprostoj put vzroslenija. V "Khoroshikh zhenakh" sestry uzhe stali vzroslymi devushkami i stolknulis s novymi zabotami. Zhivo i uvlekatelno opisyvaja ikh sudbu, Olkott vseljaet veru v ljudej i chelovecheskie chuvstva. V "Rozhdestvenskikh povestjakh" Charlza Dikkensa glavnye personazhi: fei, elfy, prizraki, dukhi umershikh i sredi nikh - obychnye anglichane, skazka perepletaetsja s realnostju, a uzhasy potustoronnego mira ne ustupajut zhestokosti dejstvitelnosti. Volshebnoe, strashnoe i v meru nravstvenno vospitatelnoe chtenie. Udivitelnye istorii o chudesakh, zamechatelnykh sobytijakh, schastlivykh sluchajakh, teplye rasskazy o ljubvi, trogatelnye, skazochnye, nemnogo zabavnye, nemnogo grustnye stikhotvorenija - eto imenno to, chto nuzhno, chtoby perezhit zimu i doveritsja miru.

Uznaet li Pip tajnu svoego anonimnogo pokrovitelja, udastsja li emu zavoevat prelestnuju ledi Estellu i stat istinnym dzhentlmenom?.. "Vospitanie chuvstv" Frederik Moro pytaetsja sdelat kareru, realizovat svoi prirodnye sposobnosti, on khochet i umeet ljubit. No ego izbrannitsa svjazana uzami braka, a vse nachinanija Frederika - pisatelstvo, zhivopis, jurisprudentsija - tak i ostajutsja nachinanijami... Gjustav Flober voshel v mirovuju literaturu kak sozdatel obektivnogo romana, kogda avtor ostaetsja besstrastnym nabljudatelem i ne navjazyvaet chitatelju svoikh otsenok.

"Charles Dickens, Francais naturalise, et Citoyen de Paris." This is how Dickens signed a letter from France to his friend John Forster in 1847. Behind the joke lay a fascination for French life and culture and a sense of affinity with the country that would take him back often and that would find expression in some of his finest work. "Dickens on France" brings together short stories, extracts from novels and travel writing. Among its journalistic highlights, are accounts of a train journey from London to Paris, a rough Channel crossing, the pleasures of Boulogne, and Parisian life in the 1850s and 1860s. Extracts from the travelogue Pictures from Italy, take us by coach from Paris to Marseille. The selected short stories include "His Boots", a section of "Mrs Lirriper's Legacy" and "The Boy at Mugby", and there are extracts from "A Tale of Two Cities", "Little Dorrit", "Dombey and Son", "Nicholas Nickleby", and "Our Mutual Friend". Dickens was interested primarily in the character of places he visited, the behaviour of people he observed in them, and in the sensation and psychology of travelling. These preoccupations keep the writing fresh and accessible. It requires no leap through time to appreciate his musings on his fellow passengers, his reflections on sitting in a Paris cafe, his random exploration of city streets or small country towns, or his opposition to cultural bigotry. Infused with energy, perception and open-mindedness, this collection vividly evokes life in France and Britain in the nineteenth century and reminds us, however much progress we make, how little we change. "Dickens on France" is extensively annotated to provide historical and autobiographical contexts, and to highlight literary and other allusions. Brief chapter introductions and a general introduction to the volume, highlight key aspects of the selections and discuss the nature of Dickens's enduring relationship with France.
