THE kettle began it! Don't tell me what Mrs. Peerybingle said. I know better. Mrs. Peerybingle may leave it on record to the end of time that she couldn't say which of them began it; but, I say the kettle did. I ought to know, I hope!

Le Magasin d'antiquités, en anglais The Old Curiosity Shop, est, avec Barnaby Rudge, l'un des deux romans que Charles Dickens (1812-1870) a publiés, en compagnie de quelques nouvelles, dans son anecdotique et éphémère revue L'Horloge de Maître Humphrey, parue de 1840 à 1841, puis en un volume en 1841. Master Humphrey est censé être le narrateur des premiers chapitres, puis l'histoire est confiée à une autre voix, sans solution de continuité entre l'une et l'autre. Il concerne la jeune Nell Trent (la petite Nell) qui vit avec son grand-père maternel, dont le nom n'est jamais révélé, dans une vieille maison de Londres appelée The Old Curiosity Shop, car elle comprend en rez-de-chaussée un magasin d'antiquités bourré, selon Gilbert Keith Chesterton, d' objets grotesques et sinistres, d'armes bizarres, de décorations en volutes diaboliques . Centrée sur les deux protagonistes, le grand-père et la petite-fille, l'intrigue est d'abord marquée par le mystère. Pourquoi cette situation ? Pourquoi l'absence du vieil homme pendant la nuit ? Bientôt, cependant, le voile se déchire avec l'intervention de plus en plus appuyée du nain Daniel Quilp, aussi difforme d'aspect que roué et cruel de tempérament. Divers comparses prennent également substance, soit du côté du couple des protagonistes, soit de celui de ses persécuteurs. Jusqu'au jour où, par une décision dont l'enfant a l'idée, l'intrigue s'ouvre brusquement sur le monde et bascule dans le champ du picaresque, avec l'errance, l'aventure de la route, les rencontres inopinées. Dès lors, le pathos, déjà appuyé dans la première partie, s'amplifie jusqu'à devenir extrême, Dickens ayant, sans rémission possible, fondé son histoire sur le sort pitoyable d'une orpheline et d'un vieillard, qui plus est en situation de faiblesse et en butte à l'adversité, les deux suscitées par la convoitise et la concupiscence des plus vils. La mort de la petite Nell, bientôt suivie de celle de son grand-père, reste l'un des événements les plus célèbres de la fiction anglaise; à l'époque de la parution des feuilletons, elle a suscité une vague de réactions jusqu'alors inédite: des milliers de lecteurs, des hommes semble-t-il, ont imploré Dickens de garder l'enfant en vie, puis des milliers d'autres ont exprimé leur deuil de sa disparition qui a pris l'envergure d'une catastrophe nationale.

A Holiday Romance By Charles Dickens Novelist, born at Landport, near Portsmouth, where his father was a clerk in the Navy Pay-Office. The hardships and mortifications of his early life, his want of regular schooling, and his miserable time in the blacking factory, which form the basis of the early chapters of David Copperfield, are largely accounted for by the fact that his father was to a considerable extent the prototype of the immortal Mr. Micawber; but partly by his being a delicate and sensitive child, unusually susceptible to suffering both in body and mind. He had, however, much time for reading, and had access to the older novelists, Fielding, Smollett, and others. A kindly relation also took him frequently to the theatre, where he acquired his life-long interest in, and love of, the stage.

This is Charles Dickens book of 1853, Charles Dickens is one of the best Author of a century back that we all know about, this book goes with the following introductions: A Chancery judge once had the kindness to inform me, as one of a company of some hundred and fifty men and women not labouring under any suspicions of lunacy, that the Court of Chancery, though the shining subject of much popular prejudice (at which point I thought the judge's eye had a cast in my direction), was almost immaculate. There had been, he admitted, a trivial blemish or so in its rate of progress, but this was exaggerated and had been entirely owing to the "parsimony of the public," which guilty public, it appeared, had been until lately bent in the most determined manner on by no means enlarging the number of Chancery judges appointed-I believe by Richard the Second, but any other king will do as well

"The Chimes" A pitiless man who has lost his belief in human goodness and nay higher calling for humanity is gifted with a Christmas vision of his loved ones' lives after his death. "The Cricket on the Hearth" A magical cricket plays the role of guardian angel to a small family through many trials, tribulations, and joys. "The Battle of Life" A young woman's suspicious disappearance leaves her family in doubt of her good character.

Oliver Twist ist ein Gesellschaftsroman von Charles Dickens, der unter dem vollständigen Titel "Oliver Twist; or, The Parish Boy's Progress" ("Oliver Twist oder der Weg des Fürsorgezöglings") von Februar 1837 bis April 1839 in Fortsetzungen in der Zeitschrift "Bentley's Miscellany" erschien. Oliver Twist ist Dickens' zweiter Roman. Er wurde mehrfach für Theater, Kino, Fernsehen und Comic adaptiert. Der Roman erzählt die Geschichte des Findelkindes und Waisenjungen Oliver Twist, der im Armenhaus einer englischen Kleinstadt aufwächst, ohne etwas über seine Herkunft zu wissen. Durch die katastrophalen Zustände im Armenhaus gezwungen, bittet er um mehr Nahrung, worauf er eine Woche lang in den Kohlenkeller gesperrt wird. Außerdem wird ausgeschrieben, dass die Gemeinde denjenigen entlohne, der sich seiner annehmen würde. Dies führt ihn zum ansässigen Sarg-Tischler namens Mr. Sowerberry, der einer ehrlichen Arbeit nachgeht und den Jungen allmählich auf seine Art liebgewinnt. Der Nebenlehrling Noah Claypole beleidigt Olivers tote Mutter, weshalb Oliver sich mit ihm prügelt und er dafür mit Schlägen bestraft wird. Er flieht anschließend zu Fuß nach London. Oliver braucht sieben Tage, bis er dort ganz erschöpft ankommt. In London gerät er in die Fänge des jüdischen Hehlers Fagin (Boss der Diebe), der ihn vor dem sicheren Tod auf der Straße bewahrt, indem er ihn verköstigt. Seine Schützlinge bilden eine Diebesbande, die hauptsächlich aus Straßenjungen besteht. Fagin macht auch Oliver mit dem Diebeshandwerk vertraut. Der äußerst brutale Eigenbrötler Bill Sikes und die ihm nahestehende Diebesgesellin Nancy, die auf eine eigenartige Weise mit Sikes verbunden ist, treten ebenfalls zu dieser Zeit in Olivers Leben. In solcher Gesellschaft lebend und lernend, wird Oliver eines Tages auf eine Diebestour mitgenommen, die fatale Folgen für ihn hat. Nachdem das Opfer Mr. Brownlow bemerkt, dass er bestohlen wurde, wird Oliver fälschlicherweise für den Dieb gehalten. Während des Verhörs auf der Polizeiwache wird Oliver in einem fiebrigen Anfall ohnmächtig und wird schließlich durch einen Zeugen entlastet, ganz zum Wohlgefallen des mitleidigen Mr. Brownlow, welcher den Jungen unter seine Fittiche nimmt und ihn gesundpflegen lässt.

David Copperfield es una de las novelas de Dickens más conocidas. Muchos de sus elementos hacen referencia a la propia vida del autor, siendo probablemente la más autobiográfica de todas sus obras. Así también, el mismo Dickens señaló en un prólogo de la novela "de todos mis libros, éste es el que más me gusta", y luego "como muchos padres, tengo un hijo preferido, un hijo que es mi debilidad; este hijo se llama David Copperfield".
