Famous English Writer- Charles Dickens
Charles Dickens
Charles Dickens was born in 1812. He became the main leader of English realism. He grew up in a very poor family. His parents had problems with the police, because they owed money for accommodation. His father was a small official and he was arrested and put to the jail for debtors[1]. Later on, also his mother was arrested and so he had to earn money for living in the age of twelve. He was working in shoe shop. Because of his childhood he was usually writing about children without home or family. He usually derived the stories from his own experience. His famous books where a child is the main hero are Oliver Twist and David Copperfield. His first book was the Chronicle of the Pickwick Club. In this book he criticised jails, poorhouses and social rates. This book brought him popularity and he became famous.
Now I would like to speak about his well-known book called Oliver Twist. This book is also known as The Adventures of Oliver Twist. The main hero is a small boy, a son of unknown parents. He is brought up in a poorhouse and he has to suffer from cruelty and hunger. When he successfully escapes, he travels to London and joins a crime guild. The guild’s leader is Fagin and the best thieves are Ferina and Bill. Oliver is trying not to commit criminal actions. Once the guild commits a small thievery and innocent Oliver is arrested. Before he is sentenced, Mr. Brownlow rescues him. However Oliver is again abducted by his old guild. He stays with his friends. In the next action he is wounded and he remains on the venue. Mrs. Roza finds small Oliver and helps him. He is very satisfied with this care. The members of the guild try again to abduct Oliver but they are arrested and executed. Mr. Brownlow adopts Oliver and he becomes his heir[2].
