Publisher's Synopsis
Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club, volume 2 by Charles Dickens. It was the first novel published by the British writer Charles Dickens. It is considered one of the masterpieces of English literature. It was initially published in installments between April 1836 and November 1837, and each of its installments became a literary event. Originally, the work was to be a narrative inspired by Robert Seymour's engravings of a "Nimrod club" of comically inexperienced hunters, but the text was soon to prevail over his illustration. A club of extravagant characters is grouped around the protagonist, whose adventures, narrated with a great sense of humor, can be interpreted as a satire of philanthropy. The most notable figure in the novel, after Pickwick's, is that of his servant Sam Weller.
