200 ANIVERSARY OF CHARLES DICKENS


Charles Dickens (Portsmouth, Inglaterra, 7 de febrero de 1812Gads Hill Place, Inglaterra, 9 de junio de 1870) fue un famoso novelista inglés, uno de los más conocidos de la literatura universal, y el principal de la era victoriana. Fue maestro del género narrativo. En su obra destacan las descripciones de gente y lugares, tanto reales como imaginarios, su dominio de la lengua inglesa es inigualable, sus personajes son inolvidables, y tenía una profunda sensibilidad social.
Sus novelas y relatos cortos disfrutaron de gran popularidad en vida del escritor, y aún hoy se editan continuamente. Dickens escribió novelas por entregas, el formato usual de su época, por la simple razón de que no todo el mundo poseía los recursos económicos necesarios para comprar un libro, y cada nueva entrega de sus historias era esperada con gran entusiasmo por sus lectores, nacionales e internacionales. Dickens fue y sigue siendo venerado como un ídolo literario por escritores de todo el mundo.
