Description
The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club by Charles Dickens is a masterful comedy of English life in the 1830s. Originally published in monthly parts, this novel was conceived as a series of sporting illustrations but evolved into one of the greatest comic novels in English literature. Dickens's brilliant creation features dozens of vividly drawn characters, including Mr Pickwick and his loyal companion Sam Weller, whose pithy sayings and bizarre anecdotes have become part of national mythology. This first novel, published when Dickens was 25, showcases his extraordinary linguistic virtuosity and human sympathies, establishing him as a major creative artist at a single stroke. The Everyman edition includes 43 illustrations by Seymour and 'Phiz', which accompanied the original edition, as well as the 1907 preface by G. K. Chesterton.
