Old Curiosity Shop - 1960
Acerca de este libro
The Old Curiosity Shop, what would become Charles Dickens’
fourth novel, was first published in 88 weekly installments in Dickens’ serial,
Master Humphrey’s Clock, from April 1840 to February 1841. In a tale that
survives the transcendence of time, The Old Curiosity Shop tells the story of
thirteen-year-old Nell Trent and her grandfather who live in The Old Curiosity
Shop, a small antique and gift store. The unnamed grandfather, desperate to
leave Nell in good financial standing after his death, loses The Old Curiosity
Shop to a gambling problem, forcing him and young Nell to wander the
countryside.
Resumen
The sensational bestselling story of Little Nell, the beautiful child thrown into a shadowy, terrifying world, seems to belong less to the history of the Victorian novel than to folklore, fairy tale, or myth. The sorrows of Nell and her grandfather are offset by Dickens's creation of a dazzling contemporary world inhabited by some of his most brilliantly drawn characters-the eloquent ne'er-do-well Dick Swiveller; the hungry maid known as the "Marchioness"; the mannish lawyer Sally Brass; Quilp's brow-beaten mother-in-law; and Quilp himself, the lustful, vengeful dwarf, whose demonic energy makes a vivid counterpoint to Nell's purity.
