The Pickwick PapersCollins Clear-Type Press, 1905 - 765 من الصفحات Samuel Pickwick, the eponymous hero of Charles Dickens's first novel, longs to explore the world outside London's gates. He enlists the participation of three friends--the Pickwickians, as they come to call themselves--and in their travels they encounter a wide swath of their English countrymen, including Pickwick's quick-witted foil, Sam Weller. In true Dickensian style, The Pickwick Papers is richly colored with quotidian detail, both celebrating and skewering life in Victorian England, and it showcases Dickens's particular gift for finding humor in the most unexpected moments.
