Pickwick Papers

The Pickwick Papers
Bok av Charles Dickens
'The fat boy rose, opened his eyes, swallowed the huge piece of pie he had been in the act of masticating when he last fell asleep, and slowly obeyed his master's orders'Few first novels have created as much popular excitement as The Pickwick Papers. Readers were immediately captivated by the adventures of the poet Snodgrass, the lover Tupman, the sportsman Winkle and, above all, by that quintessentially English Quixote, Mr Pickwick, and his cockney Sancho Panza, Sam Weller. From the hallowed turf of Dingley Dell Cricket Club to the unholy fracas of the Eatanswill election, via the Fleet debtor's prison, characters and incidents sprang to life from Dickens's pen, to form an enduringly popular work of ebullient humour and literary invention.The Penguin English Library - 100 editions of the best fiction in English, from the eighteenth century and the very first novels to the beginning of the First World War.
Charles Dickens tillhör våra klassiker och bör läsas. Vill man läsa något av honom så kan jag rekommendera Pickwickklubben. Vi följer Mr Pickwick med resesällskap runt om i England och de hamnar i många lustiga och olustiga situationer. Man ler ofta och ibland ett skratt. Boken är skriven med en gammaldags stil, i alla fall den jag läste, så många ord kanske kan vara svåra att förstå men boken är ändå starkt läsvärd.
