Le Magasin d'antiquités - Tome I

by Charles Dickens

Overview

Nelly et son grand-pere vivent dans une petite maison. Kit, un brave et honnete garçon, les sert avec une loyauté sans faille... Mais le vieil homme, bien qu'adorant l'enfant, cache de sombres secrets... Un horrible nain, Mr Quilp, va les chasser de leur maison et les poursuivre, persuadé que le vieil homme a emporté un magot. Pendant ce douloureux voyage au travers de l'Angleterre, ils rencontreront toute une galerie de personnages parfois sinistres mais aussi souvent pittoresques (les deux polichinelles, le dresseur de chien, la dame du musée de cire, etc). Au travers du destin tragique de Nelly, Dickens dénonce le caractere inhumain du monde industriel de cette Angleterre de la fin du XIXeme siecle.

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.
