Book excerpt: This beautifully designed hardcover edition contains the complete novels of Great Expectations, David Copperfield, Oliver Twist, and A Christmas Carol. This book contains the original illustrations, and this beautiful collection of Dickens’s masterpieces is a perfect gift for classic literature lovers and collectors. Charles Dickens had a hard childhood, with a bankrupt father, little schooling and a miserable time in a blacking factory sticking labels on tins of boot polish. This is reflected in his three great novels of personal development, David Copperfield, Great Expectations, and Oliver Twist. A Christmas Carol is both a ghost story and a moral tale that has defined the pattern of Christmas celebrations from Victorian to modern times. These four books in one volume represent much of Dickens' finest writing. Great Expectations was the only one of these books not to be illustrated under the author's direction, but shortly after his death his publishers commissioned F.W. Pailthorpe to prepare the illustrations that are reproduced here. David Copperfield is illustrated by H.K. Brown, Oliver Twist by George Cruikshank, and A Christmas Carol by John Leech, the original illustrators of the books.

Download or read book The Complete Works of Charles Dickens written by Charles Dickens and published by Cosimo, Inc.. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is impossible to overstate the importance of British novelist CHARLES DICKENS (1812-1870) not only to literature in the English language, but to Western civilization on the whole. He is arguably the first fiction writer to have become an international celebrity. He popularized episodic fiction and the cliffhanger, which had a profound influence on the development of film and television. He is entirely responsible for the popular image of Victorian London that still lingers today, and his characters-from Oliver Twist to Ebenezer Scrooge, from Miss Havisham to Uriah Heep-have become not merely iconic, but mythic. But it was his stirring portraits of ordinary people-not the upper classes or the aristocracy-and his fervent cries for social, moral, and legal justice for the working poor, and in particular for poor children, in the grim early decades of the Industrial Revolution that powerfully impacted social concerns well into the 20th century. Without Charles Dickens, we may never have seen the likes of Sherlock Holmes, Upton Sinclair, or even Bob Dylan. Here, in 30 beautiful volumes-complete with all the original illustrations-is every published word written by one of the most important writers ever. The essential collector's set will delight anyone who cherishes English literature...and who takes pleasure in constantly rediscovering its joys. This volume contains Great Expectations, which was originally serialized in Dickens's own periodical All the Year Round in 1860-61. The story of the orphan Pip from childhood through changes of fortune and romance, it remains a favorite of Dickens fans to this day.
