    Paryż i Londyn od 1775 roku do wybuchu rewolucji francuskiej. Łucja Manette przybywa z Anglii do Francji, aby uwolnić ojca, którego niesprawiedliwie uwięziono w Bastylii. Doktor Manette był świadkiem morderstwa, jakiego rodzina markiza St. Évremonde'a dokonała na ubogich krewnych. Zwolniony z więzienia staruszek wraca z córką do Londynu. Łucja wychodzi za Karola Darnaya, który jest spokrewniony z rodziną St. Évremonde. Widząc niegodziwość swojego otoczenia i całej paryskiej arystokracji, mężczyzna porzuca Francję. Niebawem będzie zmuszony tam jednak wrócić, gdyż pojmany zostaje jego dawny sługa. Szlachetny mężczyzna spieszy mu na ratunek, a rodzina wykorzystuje okazję, by zemścić się na krytycznie usposobionym krewnym. Charles Dickens (1812-1870) - dziewiętnastowieczny angielski powieściopisarz, najwybitniejszy wówczas przedstawiciel powieści społeczno-obyczajowej. Czuły na niesprawiedliwość społeczną, precyzyjnie opisywał życie uboższych sfer i portretował ekscentryków w konwencji groteski i karykatury. Wywodził się z rodziny, która popadła w nędzę, bardzo wcześnie podjął pracę zarobkową w fabryce pasty do butów, uznanie w środowisku literackim zapewniła mu powieść "Klub Pickwicka".

    Ein Meisterwerk der viktorianischen Literatur: Charles Dickens erzählt in diesem Bildungsroman die bewegte Geschichte des Waisenjungen Pip. Pip fristet sein Dasein in Armut, bevor eine Reihe folgenreicher Begegnungen sein Leben von Grund auf verändert. Plötzlich scheint das Schicksal es gut mit ihm zu meinen: ein mysteriöser Wohltäter überlässt ihm anonym eine große Summe Geld. Pip reist nach London, um in der Hauptstadt des britischen Empire fortan das Leben eines „echten Gentlemans" zu führen. Doch je älter er wird, desto härter sind auch die Lektionen, die Pip lernen muss: über die Suche nach Identität, echte Freundschaft, und das Leben selbst. Der britische Schriftsteller Charles Dickens (1812–1870) zählt zu den bedeutendsten Autoren des 19. Jahrhunderts. Ab den 1830er-Jahren arbeitete er – teils unter dem Pseudonym Boz – als Journalist für verschiedene Zeitungen, begann jedoch bald, auch Fortsetzungsromane zu veröffentlichen. Darin behandelte Dickens oft soziale Probleme und Fragestellungen seiner Zeit. Zu seinen wichtigsten Werken, die bis heute immer wieder neu adaptiert werden, zählen die Romane „Oliver Twist" und „David Copperfield" sowie die Erzählung „Eine Weihnachtsgeschichte".

    ‘The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby’ is a sprawling adventure that follows young Nicholas’ journey across England to defend his family’s honour and regain their lost fortune. After the death of Nicholas’ father, the Nickleby family is on the brink of collapse, and they must rely on their treacherous uncle Ralph to survive. Nicholas is sent to work at a Yorkshire school but quickly learns that it is run by belligerent ghouls. After a violent confrontation, Nicholas and his friend Smike flee the school and embark on a marvellous misadventure to rescue Nicholas’ family and find love. While remaining true to Dickens’ celebrated social criticism, this novel also portrays the author’s incredible comedic abilities as the protagonists find themselves in many accidentally absurd situations. ‘The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby’ is a drama teeming with humour, romance, revenge, and murder. The story’s narrative scope and memorable cast of characters make it the perfect read for fans of Shakespeare, and it was adapted into a film starring Anne Hathaway and Charlie Hunnam in 2002.Charles Dickens (1812-1870) was a widely popular English author and social critic. Among his most famous novels are ‘Oliver Twist’, ‘A Christmas Carol’, and ‘Great Expectations’.

Many of Dickens’ novels have been adapted for movies and television, including the Academy Award-winning musical ‘Oliver’.

    "La casa que es el tema de esta obra de Navidad no la conocí bajo ningunade las circunstancias fantasmales acreditadas ni rodeada por ninguno de los entornos fantasmagóricos convencionales. La vi a la luz del día, con el sol encima. No había viento, lluvia ni rayos, no había truenos ni circunstancia alguna, horrible o indeseable, que potenciaran su efecto."Esta es la casa escenario de la novela de Dickens en la que los amigos se reúnen para probar la existencia de lo sobrenatural. El periodo del año es la Navidad. Así pues, estamos ante una novela de fantasmas, es lo que uno podríapensar, pero estos fantasmas no son los fantasmas habituales de las novelas de misterio. En estas historias no tienen siquiera relación con la casa en la que aparecen, y sus historias son relatos de injusticias, arrepentimientos, terror...De la misma forma que no es tampoco una novela de un solo autor.Publicada por primera vez en el semanario que Dickens dirigía para laNavidad de 1858, es una novela colectiva en la que Dickens escribe juntocon otros 5 autores (entre ellos sus habituales W.Collins y E.Gaskell), un relato de misterio en el que no decepciona con la maestría de su pluma y habilidad para narrar. La historia que abre el relato, escrita por él mismo, "Los mortales de la casa", es el relato más sólido de todos. Además de éste, el maestro Dickens se encarga también de escribir los nexos de unión entre el resto de historias, a veces a modo de introducción, para que el total sea una pieza acabada y entera a la altura de su talento narrador.Reconocido como uno de los mejores escritores de la era Victoriana, Charles Dickens (1812-1870) es recordado por sus personajes icónicos, desde el pequeño e inocente Oliver Twist a el viejo y amargado Ebenezer Scrooge. Sus cuentos han sido adaptados a la pantalla grande incontables veces, y son leídos alrededor del mundo hasta el día de hoy. Gozó de una popularidad inmensa mientras vivía, y los más grandes escritores del siglo XX alabaron su estilo realista y cómico, sus personajes extravagantes y su crítica social.
