Download or read book The Pickwick Papers written by Charles Dickens and published by Jazzybee Verlag. This book was released on 2014-02-26 with total page 1088 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club' is the one novel of Dickens that abounds neither in pathetic, grewsome, nor dramatic passages. It is pure fun from beginning to end, with a laugh on every page. It was published in 1836, and aided by the clever illustrations of Hablot Brown, or "Phiz," it attained immediate success and laid the foundations of Dickens's fame. The types illustrated are caricatures, but nevertheless they are types: Mr. Pickwick, the genial, unsophisticated founder of the club; and that masterly array of ludicrous individuals drawn from all classes high and low. Although the whole book is exaggerated comedy, there is no other that has furnished more characters universally known, or given to common English speech more current phrases. Many sayings and events are still in the "Pickwickian sense"; Sam Weller and his admirable father are still quoted; Mrs. Leo Hunter is still a feature in social life; Bardell trials occur occasionally; and there are many clubs as wise as Pickwick's.

Their goal is to travel through the English countryside by coach, observing the world beyond London and staying at inns along the way.

Joined by Pickwick’s valet, a talkative coachman, and another traveler with a knack for tall tales, this merry band will entertain the reader while offering a tour of England in the 1820s, populated by an assortment of colorful characters.

Book excerpt: " The Pickwick Papers was Charles Dickens's first novel. He was asked to contribute to the project as an up-and-coming writer following the success of Sketches by Boz, published in 1836 (most of Dickens' novels were issued in shilling instalments before being published as complete volumes). Dickens (still writing under the pseudonym of Boz) increasingly took over the unsuccessful monthly publication after the original illustrator Robert Seymour had committed suicide.With the introduction of Sam Weller in chapter 10, the book became the first real publishing phenomenon, with bootleg copies, theatrical performances, Sam Weller joke books, and other merchandise.After the publication, the widow of Robert Seymour claimed that the idea for the novel was originally her husband's; however, in his preface to the 1867 edition, Dickens strenuously denied any specific input, writing that ""Mr Seymour never originated or suggested an incident, a phrase, or a word, to be found in the book"

Download or read book The Pickwick Papers written by Charles Dickens and published by . This book was released on 2020-07-13 with total page 556 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dickens' first and one of his finest, The Pickwick Papers is admittedly more a loose collection of stories than a traditional novel. However, the stories do center around one Mr. Samuel Pickwick: an exuberant old gentleman who gallivants around England with fellow members of his very own "Pickwick Club." The Pickwick Club is firmly committed to scientific exploration - i.e. visiting as much of the southern countryside as possible. Along the way they meet many unusual figures, imbibe large quantities of alcohol, and become entangled in a number of sticky situations that nevertheless always seem to work themselves out.From the wise words of Pickwick's street-smart valet to the wild tales of a ubiquitous charlatan, the stories within these stories demonstrate Dickens' ability to juggle countless plots while still holding fast to readers' attentions. The Pickwick Papers also established many of Dickens' trademark story elements: the comic and ironic situations, the quintessentially English settings, and the ensemble cast of some rather memorably named characters (including the likes of "Augustus Snodgrass" and "Alfred Jingle").
