Nickleby nepocházel z majetných poměrů. Byl sice statkář, ale jeho panství bylo rozlohou asi tak velké jako menší náměstíčko. Kvůli nevydařené finanční spekulaci ztratil veškerý svůj majetek a zanechal po sobě vdovu, syna Mikuláše a dceru Katušku. Ti jsou po smrti otce vydání na milost a nemilost svého strýce z Londýna, kam se odstěhují, ale srdečné pomoci u něho mnoho nenaleznou. Pro bohatého strýce – vychytralého lichváře – jsou peníze tím nejdůležitějším na světě, a proto se kouká svých chudých příbuzných co nejrychleji zbavit. Slíbí, že jim obstará nějaké zaměstnání, aby si pohodlně vydělali na stravu a byt. Cesty jednotlivých členů rodiny se tedy musí rozejít. Zatímco matka s dcerou zůstávají v Londýně, odchází mladý Mikuláš na akademii pana Squeerse do Yorkshiru, aby nastoupil na místo pomocného učitele. Tam poznává strýčkovu zradu. Ústav, do kterého se dostal, je výdělečným podnikem pana Squeerse a místem utrpení pro jeho svěřence – hochy, kterým se zde má dostat vzdělání. Místo toho jsou však děti trápeny hladem a zimou a tomu všemu musí Mikuláš nedobrovolně přihlížet. Pokud se Mikuláš dostal do tak svízelné situace, jaký osud mohl potkat jeho sestru Katušku a matku?Charles Dickens (1812–1870) byl věhlasný anglický spisovatel, jenž se narodil do chudých poměrů. V mládí pracoval ve fabrice na leštidla bot a časem se vypracoval na písaře těsnopisu. Přispíval také do časopisu Morning Chronicle. K jeho nejznámějším románům patří Oliver Twist, který je inspirovaný zážitky a zkušenostmi z chudého dětství.

Mikuláš Nickleby konečně dorazí do Londýna. Smyslem jeho cesty je dostat sestru Katušku a matku z područí strýce, kterému ženy padly do pařátů. Strýc je vypočítavý a chladnokrevný škrtil, který kromě touhy po penězích nezná jiné vášně. Samotného ho tedy překvapí, když se v něm zachvěje touha po pěkné neteři. A čím více rostla jeho záliba pro Katušku, tím více vzrůstala jeho nenávist pro Mikuláše. Osvobodit se z nadvlády strýce a jeho mamonu, tedy nebude jednoduchá cesta. S pomocí přátel povede se malé rodině přesto společně začít nový život a zdá se, že se blýská na lepší časy. Strýc však dále bezcitně domlouvá své obchody a zasahuje do osudů ostatních, jako například churavému Smilkovi, nebo dceři dlužníka Magdaleně. Však zatímco Mikuláš se svými blízkými přáteli žijí jeden pro druhého, nemá strýc žádnou spřízněnou duši, která by mu poskytla útěchu. Dickensův román o Mikuláši Nicklebyim je spletitý příběh, plný emocí a zvratů, ve kterém jsou v popředí různé hodnoty společnosti. Zatímco postava Mikuláše ztělesňuje poctivost, dobromyslnou pomoc druhým lidem a upřímnou lásku, reprezentuje postava strýce touhu po moci a majetku jako těch nejvyšších hodnotách.Charles Dickens (1812–1870) byl věhlasný anglický spisovatel, jenž se narodil do chudých poměrů.

Sinds 150 jaar is de klassieker van Charles Dickens een onmisbaar ingrediënt in de Britse kersttraditie. Eigenlijk is het een spookverhaal, maar met een positieve boodschap, waarin geesten proberen vat te krijgen op de harteloze vrek en geldschieter Ebenezer Scrooge.Charles Dickens was een van de grote Victoriaanse schrijvers met oog en hart voor de kwetsbaren - in het bijzonder kinderen. Hij schreef een 'kerstavontuur' nadat hij in 1843 een school bezocht voor de ondervoede en ongeletterde straatkinderen in Londen. Daarnaast heeft het betrekking op de eigen herinneringen van de auteur aan Kerstmis en aan de kersttraditie.Het verhaal heeft veel van wat we nu associëren met Kerstmis gedefiniëerd: het familiebedrijf, kerstspelletjes, kerstvoedsel en -dranken, vrijgevigheid en geschenken.De laatste twintig jaar van zijn leven tot 1870 had Dickens zelf groot succes in het rondreizen en voorlezen. Sindsdien is "A Christmas Adventure" niet alleen vele malen verfilmd, ook als tekenfilm, en werd het ook geproduceerd als theater, musical, ballet en opera.Op kerstavond krijgt hij bezoek van de gekwelde geest van zijn overleden zakenpartner, Jacob Marley, en vervolgens van drie geesten die kerst in het verleden, heden en toekomst vertegenwoordigen, en wordt het een harde les in vrijgevigheid en mededogen, oftewel de ware geest van Kerstmis.Charles Dickens (1812-70) is een van de grote namen in de Britse literatuur. Zijn boeken zijn sinds zijn leven voortdurend gelezen en gepubliceerd, terwijl het werk doorgaat op het gebied van film, televisie en theater. Als auteur schreef Dickens met humor over hoe de Engelse industrialisatie vaak gruwelijke menselijke gevolgen kent, en hij heeft in zijn werken een bijzonder oog voor de armen, vooral kinderen. Verschillende van zijn protagonisten zijn kinderen, zoals Oliver Twist, David Copperfield en kleine Dorrit. Naast grote, kleurrijke romans schreef hij kort proza en toneelstukken, reisboeken en kinderboeken.

Barnaby Rudge (1840) is de tweede historische roman van Dickens en erg geïnspireerd op de romans van Sir Walter Scott. Barnaby Rudge is een goedhartige jongen die ongewild betrokken raakt bij de anti-katholieke opstanden van 1780, de Gordon Riots. Hij wordt ter dood veroordeeld, maar uiteindelijk gered door slotenmaker Gabriel Varden. In beeldend proza beschrijft Dickens de bestorming van de Newgate-gevangenis; diepgaand zijn de beschrijvingen van de complexe relaties en liefdes van zijn kleurrijke personages. Barnaby's huisdier, Grip de Raaf, inspireerde Edgar Allen Poe tot het schrijven van zijn beroemde gedicht 'The Raven'.Charles Dickens (1812-70) is een van de grote namen in de Britse literatuur.

This is the original text from A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens with new illustrations and a full foreword dedicated to the darkly spiritual themes of the book. This is the Large Print edition of the book.

"Huruvida jag själv blir hjälten i min egen levnadsaga eller om det blir någon annan som kommer intaga den platsen, skola följande blad utvisa."Vi möter David Copperfield när han kommer till världen. De barnmorskor och läkekonstkunniga som fanns i grannskapet hade följt hans utveckling sedan långt innan de hade nöjet att träffa den lilla pojken i livet. De var alla rörande ense om att den unge herrn skulle ha ett oturligt liv.I denna första del av den klassiska berättelsen om David Copperfield följer vi honom under hans barndomstid, och första skolår.Vi möter den unge David Copperfield, och får följa med under hans äventyrliga uppväxt och in i vuxen ålder. \"David Copperfield\" anses vara författaren Charles Dickens mästerverk.Charles Dickens (1812-1870) var kanske den mest framgångsrika och älskade brittiska författaren under 1800-talet, en popularitet som fortsatt i våra dagar. Han förenar oförglömliga personporträtt och en känsla för medryckande berättelser med en blick för samhällets utsatta existenser.
