Sobre este artículo
London; Chapman and Hall, 193 Piccadilly, 1880. Hardcover. Good. Seymour and Browne/"Phiz. 8vo; xii, 497pp. In original publisher's red buckram binding with black and gilt tooling to spine and front board. Binding shaken (as is common for this edition), spine tips, hinges and board corners bumped/worn, unobtrusive early inscription to front endpaper, internally an uncommonly clean copy without foxing, with full complement of 8 plates by Seymour and Phiz. Overall a very presentable example, undated but undoubtedly a circa 1880 copy of the "Charles Dickens Edition" of this celebrated work.
Sinopsis
The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club (commonly known as The Pickwick Papers ) is the first novel published by Charles Dickens. The Posthumous Papers Of The Pickwick Club catapulted the 24-year-old author to immediate fame. Readers were captivated by the adventures of the poet Snodgrass, the lover Tupman, the sportsman Winkle &, above all, by that quintessentially English Quixote, Mr. Pickwick, & his cockney Sancho Panza, Sam Weller. From the hallowed turf of Dingley Dell Cricket Club to the unholy fracas of the Eatanswill election, via the Fleet debtor’s prison, characters & incidents sprang to life from Dickens’s pen, to form an enduringly popular work of ebullient humor & literary invention The novel was published in 19 issues over 20 months by Chapman and Hall, London in 1836. After the publication the widow of illustrator Robert Seymour claimed that the idea for the novel was originally her husband's; however, in his preface to the 1867 edition, Dickens strenuously denied any specific input, writing that "Mr. Seymour never originated or suggested an incident, a phrase, or a word, to be found in the book.
