Synopsis "Oliver Twist"

«Hasta que estas pasiones no mueren y dejan de dominar el cuerpo para siempre, las nubes de tormenta no se disipan y despejan así la superficie del cielo».
La historia del pequeño Oliver, criado en un hospicio, empleado en una funeraria y reclutado por una banda de ladrones que él no reconoce como tales, no solo es un soberbio escaparate de celebérrimas creaciones dickensianas, sino que además resulta un magnífico y apasionante relato sobre la inocencia acosada. Los distintos personajes que el héroe va encontrando en su camino nos descubren al Dickens idílico y sentimental, en una de las muestras más perdurables de su genio.
La posteridad ha convertido en mito las peripecias del pequeño muchacho, vertidas a nuestra lengua por Josep Marco Borillo y el equipo de la Universitat Jaume I de Castelló. La modernidad de la traducción, así como la reveladora introducción que firma el catedrático del University College Philip Home, convierten la presente en una edición indispensable.

Charles Dickens (February 7, 1812 - June 9, 1870) was born in Portsmouth and was the eldest son of a Royal Navy clerk. At twelve, his father's imprisonment for debt forced him to work in a blacking factory. His education was sporadic: he taught himself shorthand, worked as a clerk in a law office, and eventually became a parliamentary correspondent for the Morning Chronicle.

Coming from a humble family, "good old Charles" did not receive formal education until he was nine, and was heavily criticized by the critics of the time for being too self-taught. His life took an unexpected turn with his father's imprisonment for debts, moving his family to live with him in jail, allowed at that time by British laws. At the age of 12, he was already considered fit to start working in a dye factory. Although his family's situation had improved, his mother insisted he keep working there, inspiring him to write one of his masterpieces, David Copperfield.

His articles, later collected in Scenes from London Life by "Boz" (1836-1837), were very successful, and with the appearance in 1837 of The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club, Dickens became a true publishing phenomenon. Novels such as Oliver Twist (1837-1839), Nicholas Nickleby (1838-1839), and Barnaby Rudge (1841) gained enormous popularity, as did some travel chronicles, such as Pictures from Italy (1846). With Dombey and Son (1846-1848) he began his mature period, of which good examples are David Copperfield (1849-1850), his first novel in the first person and his favorite, in which he developed some autobiographical episodes; Bleak House (1852-1853); Little Dorrit (1855-1857), A Tale of Two Cities (1859), Great Expectations (1860-1861), and Our Mutual Friend (1864-1865). He died at Gad's Hill, his country house in Higham, in the county of Kent.

Es un muy buen libro (letra grande, es comodo y tiene portada bonita) pero hay un detalle y me a pasado ya con varios libros de buscalibre no solo con este, es que los libros no vienen sellados solo con el protector de burbujas, esto es un poco incomodo ya que el libro tiende a venir con las puntas dobladas y el libro un tanto empolvado. El resto muy bien!!

Que buena historia, entretenida y descriptiva de la vida de los desamparados. A veces un poco predecible, pero buena.
