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. Charles Dickens - Charles John Huffam Dickens FRSA (February 7, 1812 - June 9, 1870) was an English writer and social critic. He created some of the world's best-known fictional characters and is considered by many to be the best novelist of the Victorian era. His works enjoyed unprecedented popularity during his lifetime, and by the 20th century, critics and scholars recognized him as a literary genius. His novels and short stories are still widely read today.
