關於作者

Charles Dickens, one of the most esteemed novelists of the Victorian era, was born on February 7, 1812, in Portsmouth, England. Renowned for his acute social commentary and an unparalleled ability to intertwine humor and pathos, Dickens's works are celebrated for their vivid characters and engrossing plots. Though lesser known, 'Going into Society' is a testament to Dickens's adept storytelling and his examination of social mores. Most famously, Dickens authored major novels such as 'Great Expectations,' 'Oliver Twist,' and 'A Tale of Two Cities,' which not only entertained but also highlighted the social injustices and hardships of his time. His writing style is marked by a rich use of satire, irony, and caricature, with a focus on the lives of the poor and the inequities of the class system. Dickens's ability to create memorable characters, such as Ebenezer Scrooge from 'A Christmas Carol,' has left an indelible mark on literature. His compassionate advocacy for social reform is evident throughout his literary oeuvre and his serialized novels were a significant innovation of the 19th century, engaging a wide readership and bringing attention to various societal issues. Dickens passed away on June 9, 1870, but his contributions to literature continue to be honored worldwide, maintaining his status as a titan of English literature.
