Charles Dickens is great submitted by Parzival on July 9, 2012, 6:54am I started read Dickens novels because of a challenge from my dad: kids from my generation cannot stay still for long enough to read these books. I started with Great Expectations and slowly went through the first few chapters when I started to like the story and soon finished the book. Now I am reading Dickens novels one by one and so far they are all great.

Fascinating Autobiographical Work of One of England's Greatest Novelists submitted by sVfGI7Glt2pz7GZgVB90 on August 26, 2019, 3:17am At age 12, Dickens was sent to work as a boy-apprentice in a blacking factory, pasting labels on pots of dye for 12 hours a day in a rat-infested warehouse. The awful conditions and his loneliness and despair became fictionalized in this novel as well as in Great Expectations. Essentially an autobiography, Dickens, in the voice of Copperfield, describes his childhood ordeals---working in his stepfather's warehouse, training as a journalist, becoming a parliamentary reporter. Read this captivating exploration of psychological development.
