The Origin of Species was written by Charles Darwin and published in 1859. This book brought order to the world of organisms. Darwin not only supported the notion of transformation of species, but also was able to suggest a mechanism by which such evolution could occur without recourse to other than purely natural causes. According to his theory of natural selection, minute variations in offspring are either favoured or eliminated in the competition for survival. This brought the idea of evolution to be perceived with great clarity.This book is a work of scientific literature that is considered to be the foundation of evolutionary biology. Darwin?s book introduced the theory that populations evolve over the course of generations through a process of natural selection. Upon its publication, the book attracted widespread interest. Already regarded as a scientist, Darwin?s findings were taken seriously and the evidence he presented generated scientific, philosophical, and religious discussion. His concept of evolutionary adaptation through natural selection became central to modern evolutionary theory, and it has now become the unifying concept of the life sciences.

A gripping portrayal of London's dark criminal underbelly.Starved and mistreated, empty bowl in hand, the young hero musters the courage to approach his master, saying, ""Please, sir, I want some more."" Oliver Twist's famous cry of the heart has resounded with readers since the novel's initial appearance in 1837, and the book remains a popular favorite with fans of all ages.Dickens was no stranger to the pain of hunger and the degradation of poverty. He poured his own youthful experience of Victorian London's unspeakable squalor into this realistic depiction of the link between destitution and crime. Oliver escapes his miserable servitude by running away to London, where he unwillingly but inevitably joins a scabrous gang of thieves. Masterminded by the loathsome Fagin, the underworld crew features some of Dickens' most memorable characters, including the juvenile pickpocket known as the Artful Dodger, the vicious Bill Sikes, and gentle Nancy, an angel of self-sacrifice.Combining elements of Gothic Romance, the Newgate Novel and popular melodrama, Dickens created an entirely new kind of fiction, scathing in its indictment of a cruel society, and pervaded by an unforgettable sense of threat and mystery.

La femme de M. Dombey, riche négociant orgueilleux, vient d'accoucher d'un garçon. Un garçon ! enfin il a un héritier qui saura reprendre son affaire. Certes, il avait déjà une fille, Florence, mais une fille... Malheureusement, son épouse décède des suites de cet accouchement, et M. Dombey met tout son attachement et ses espoirs dans Paul, son fils tandis qu'il n'a jamais éprouvé pour sa fille que gêne et indifférence. D'ailleurs, les liens entre Paul et Florence le dérangent. Mais le petit Paul a une constitution faible, et quand il est placé dans une institution à l'éducation stricte, sa santé résiste mal à cet environnement... Évoquant le monde du commerce, le thème principal de ce roman est le châtiment de l'orgueil.

Barnaby Rudge: A Tale of the Riots of 'Eighty (titre français : Barnabé Rudge, conte des émeutes de quatre-vingt), habituellement connu en anglais sous le titre de Barnaby Rudge, est un roman historique de Charles Dickens (1812-1870), publié en Angleterre par Chapman & Hall sous la forme de feuilleton de quatre-vingt-huit épisodes hebdomadaires de février à novembre 1841 dans l'éphémère revue Master Humphrey's Clock (« L'Horloge de Maître Humphrey », 1840-1841).L'action du roman concerne un ancien meurtre perpétré dans une petite ville non loin de Londres, sur quoi se greffent, quelque vingt-cinq ans après, les émeutes anti-catholiques dites Gordon Riots, conduites par Lord George Gordon, qui, du 2 au 10 juin 1780 à Londres, ont provoqué de très importants dégâts et fait de nombreuses victimes.Barnaby Rudge est le septième roman de Charles Dickens, d'abord conçu en 1836 sous le titre Gabriel Vardon, The Locksmith of London (« Gabriel Vardon, serrurier à Londres »), pour Richard Bentley qui rêve d'une grande ¿uvre romanesque en trois volumes (three-decker) destinée à sa revue, le Bentley's Miscellany. Longtemps retardé par divers démêlés éditoriaux, il est finalement rassemblé en un seul volume par Chapman & Hall avec son titre définitif. C'est le premier essai de Dickens dans le genre historique, le second étant A Tale of Two Cities (Le Conte de deux cités), publié en 1859 et situé au temps de la Révolution française. La première édition a été illustrée par George Cattermole et Hablot K(night) Browne, dit Phiz.D'après Gordon Spence, c'est l'¿uvre d'un homme jeune (29 ans) en pleine possession de son thème, qu'il a depuis longtemps déjà l'ambition de traiter avec envergure, et le chemin ayant conduit à sa publication fait écho à la montée en gloire de l'écrivain. Pourtant, il ne figure pas au palmarès des ¿uvres les plus appréciées de Dickens3 et a été peu exploité par la caméra, puisqu'existent seulement un film muet réalisé en 1915 et une adaptation produite par la BBC en 1960..

The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club (also known as The Pickwick Papers) was Charles Dickens's first book. Because of his fame with Sketches by Boz published in 1836, Dickens was asked by the editor "cockney sporting plates" by illustrator Robert Seymour, and to connect them into a novel. The novel became Britain's first real event, with unlawful copies. Pickwick is basically a significant novel, but its sincere features showed in comic form. Not that Dickens bounds the book lovers enjoy the sour taste of life with sweet essence of comedy. The valuable morals are exactly those that knitted well with humour. Pickwick Papers reveals the fun of travel, the happiness of good livelihood, kindness, love life and energy of a youth. Dickens realizes these facts by showing them against rather bitter realities.

Charles Dickens published a book titled The Battle of Life: A Love Story in 1846. After 'The Cricket on the Hearth'' and'' The Haunted Man and the Ghost's Bargain, it is the fourth of his five "Christmas Books." An English village that is located on the location of a famous battle serves as the backdrop. The title comes from some characters who use the war as a metaphor for life's challenges. Of the five Christmas Books, only the fight lacks overtly magical or religious overtones. (A Christmas-themed sequence occurs, but it's not the last scene.) The story has two aspects in common with The Cricket on the Hearth: a non-urban setting, and a romantic twist in how it is resolved. Compared to Cricket, it is much less of a social novel. Dickens usually has a happy ending, and this is no exception. In contrast to the other Dickens' Christmas Books, it is one of the author's lesser-known works and has never gained a high level of popularity. Jule Hopwood became unwell and passed away on March 1, 1929, while she was negotiating legal concerns with his estate. In the same grave as her son was she.

A Christmas Carol. In Prose. Being a Ghost Story of Christmas, ordinarily known as A Christmas Carol, is a novella by Charles Dickens, first distributed in London by Chapman and Hall in 1843 and outlined by John Leech. A Christmas Carol recaps the narrative of Ebenezer Scrooge, an older recluse who is visited by the phantom of his previous colleague Jacob Marley and the spirits of Christmas Past, Present but to Come. After their visits, Scrooge is changed into a kinder, gentler man. Dickens composed A Christmas Carol during a period when the British were investigating and reconsidering past Christmas customs, including songs, and fresher traditions, for example, Christmas cards and Christmas trees. He was affected by the encounters of his own childhood and by the Christmas accounts of different creators, including Washington Irving and Douglas Jerrold. Dickens had composed three Christmas stories preceding the novella, and was motivated following a visit to the Field Lane Ragged School, one of a few foundations for London's road kids. The treatment of poor people and the capacity of an egotistical man to make up for himself by changing into a more thoughtful person are the vital subjects of the story. There is conversation among scholastics with regards to whether this is a completely common story, or on the other hand assuming it is a Christian purposeful anecdote.
