Overview

Les pages qui constituent Master Humphrey’s Clock figurent presque toujours dans les œuvres complètes de Dickens en langue anglaise mais n’ont jamais été publiées en traduction française. L’Herne les porte aujourd’hui à l’attention du public français. Maître Humphrey est un homme solitaire qui vit à Londres. Il conserve des manuscrits anciens dans une vieille horloge en bois ancien près de la cheminée. Apprécié par ses voisins, il décide de fonder un club appelé L’horloge de Maître Humphrey, où les membres lisent à voix haute leurs manuscrits. Maître Humphrey, un homme sourd Jack Redburn, un commerçant retraité Owen Miles et M. Pickwick du Pickwick Papers participent à cette aventure. Mais un jour, Maître Humphrey se retrouvera seul au coin de la cheminée, plongé dans de profondes pensées. Lorsque les membres du club reviendront dans la demeure de ce dernier, ils le trouveront dans un état qui bouleversera de façon irrémédiable le club de lecture...

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.
