19. ListeningListening Charles Dickens (1812-1870)Charles Dickens (1812-1870)
Charles Dickens was the greatest critical realist in 19 century English
literature. Dickens was born in the family of a rich clerk in Portsmouth. There
were five children in the family and Charles was the second. In 1812 the family
moved to London.
Life was hard for the poor people in the capital of Great Britain. Charles‘
father could not get any work there for a long time and was taken to parliament
for debts. Little Charles at ten had to go to work in a plant. The boy washed
bottles and worked from early morning till late at night. Dickens described this
period of his childhood in the novel "David Copperfield". When his father came
out of prison, Charles was sent to school and stayed there for four years. He
learned foreign languages and studied literature.
At fifteen Charles left school and worked in a lawyer's office. He studied
shorthand at that time and soon took up the work of a parliamentary reporter to
a London magazine. This work led to journalism, and. journalism to novel
writing. In 1836 he published his first book "Sketches by Boz", a collection of
short stories from London life.
Then followed "The Pickwick Papers", published in 1837, which made the
author famous in his next novels, "Oliver Twist" (1838) and "Nicholas Nickleby“
(1839), Dickens described the hard life at prison and workhouses for homeless
children.
