Overview

Un classique méconnu, qui complète l'intégrale Dickens en cours chez Archipoche.
1780. Enrôlé malgré lui par les émeutiers antipapistes de lord Gordon qui se dirigent vers le palais de Westminster, le jeune Barnabé Rudge prend part aux pillages et aux déprédations. Tandis que s'enflamment les rivalités et les rancoeurs qui couvaient au village.
Capturé, incarcéré à la prison de Newgate, Barnabé y fait plus ample connaissance avec le mystérieux étranger qui, des années auparavant, a assassiné le propriétaire du domaine de la Garenne... et qui se trouve être son père. Mais aussi avec le serrurier Varden, qui pourrait favoriser sa libération. Lorsque la prison est soudain incendiée !
Tableau halluciné des grandes émeutes de 1780, Barnabé Rudge (1841) met en scène la violence des foules déchaînées face à l'arbitraire d'un pouvoir égoïste, oppresseur d'un peuple maintenu dans l'ignorance et la misère.

About the Author

About The Author
Charles Dickens (1812-1870) is probably the greatest novelist England has ever produced, the author of such famous books as A Christmas Carol, Hard Times, Great Expectations, David Copperfield, and Oliver Twist. His innate comic genius and shrewd depictions of Victorian life — along with his indelible characters — have made his books beloved by readers the world over. Dickens was born in Landport, Portsea, England and died in Kent after suffering a stroke. The second of eight children of a family continually plagued by debt, the young Dickens came to know hunger, privation, and the horrors of the infamous debtors' prison and the evils of child labor. These unfortunate early life experiences helped shape many of his greatest works.
