Charles Dickens Boeken

Charles Dickens had een ongeëvenaard begrip van de midden-Victoriaanse samenleving en beschikte over een enorme genialiteit en energie om de absurditeiten en angsten van die maatschappij tot leven te brengen op de pagina. Nicholas Nickleby, met zijn episodes van bedrog in de financiën en het onderwijs, en de dramatische intensiteit waarmee het het verhaal vertelt van zijn oprechte protagonisten - een jonge broer en zus die zich in een gevaarlijke wereld bevinden - en de angstaanjagende schurk, de prachtig weergegeven Ralph Nickleby, vertegenwoordigt Dickens op zijn helderziende, verontwaardigde en betoverende best.

Een meeslepende weergave van de duistere criminele onderwereld van Londen, het verhaal volgt Oliver Twist, een wees die vanaf zijn geboorte geconfronteerd wordt met kwaad en tegenspoed. Na te zijn ontsnapt uit het werkhuis en de pompeuze Mr. Bumble, wordt Oliver in een bende van dieven getrokken, vol levendige personages zoals de sluwe Artful Dodger, de brute inbreker Bill Sikes, zijn hond Bull's Eye en de prostituee Nancy, allemaal onder het waakzame oog van meester-dief Fagin. Dickens mengt elementen van Gothic Romance, Newgate Novel en populair melodrama, en creëert een nieuwe soort fictie die een wrede samenleving bekritiseert, doordrenkt met een gevoel van bedreiging en mysterie. Dit verhaal biedt een kritische blik op de sociale ongelijkheid van de tijd en de strijd van de onschuldige tegen de onderdrukking van de maatschappij.

Charles Dickens' eerste historische roman, die zich afspeelt tijdens de anti-katholieke rellen van 1780, biedt een ongeëvenaarde weergave van de terreur van een razende menigte, gezien door de ogen van de individuen die in de chaos worden meegesleurd. Deze individuen omvatten Emma, een katholiek, en Edward, een protestant, wiens verboden liefde door het hart van het verhaal weeft; en de eenvoudige Barnaby, een van de leiders van de rellen, wiens lot verbonden is met een mysterieuze moord en wiens geliefde raaf, Grip, de mystieke kracht van onschuld belichaamt. Het verhaal omvat zowel de verfijnde aristocratische wereld als de onvoorspelbare straten en de nachtmerrieachtige onderbuik van Londen, die Dickens karakteristiek in levendige, pulserende detail beschrijft. Maar de echte focus van het boek ligt op de rellen zelf, die met buitengewone energie worden afgebeeld en doordrenkt zijn van de gevaren, de zinloosheid en de mogelijkheden, zowel voordelig als wreed, van de menigte.

Dit boek maakt deel uit van de TREDITION CLASSICS serie, die zich richt op het opnieuw beschikbaar maken van publieke domein boeken. De serie is ontstaan uit een passie voor literatuur en streeft ernaar om waardevolle werken uit de wereldliteratuur te behouden en te herdrukken.
