About the Author(作者簡介)
Charles Dickens（查爾斯．狄更斯）was one of Britain’s most popular writers. He was born in Portsea, in the south of England, in 1812, but Dickens spent most of his life in London. He had a difficult childhood. He grew up in a family that never had enough money. His father could not earn enough money to support his ten children and he lived in a debtors’ prison. At the early age of 12, Dickens had to start working in a factory. As a young man Dickens found work first in an office and then as a journalist. His newspaper work brought him into contact with many different people. He enjoyed writing detailed descriptions of the people he met, their clothing, their habits, and their way of talking. He witnessed the hardship and tragedy of life, as well as its humorous side.
Soon Dickens started writing stories that he published in monthly instalments. His first novel The Pickwick Papers had a small following at first, but then it started selling 40,000 copies per instalment. After this he wrote many more novels and traveled throughout Britain and America doing dramatic readings of his most loved books. Among the most famous were David Copperfield, Great Expectations, Bleak House, A Christmas Carol, A Tale of Two Cities, and Oliver Twist. Dicken’s work presented to readers a new type of novel illustrating, through fiction, the most important social problems of the period. Charles Dickens died in 1870.
