Giới thiệu tác giả

Charles Dickens (1812-1870) was an English writer and social critic who is considered one of the greatest novelists of the Victorian era. With a keen eye for character and a biting satirical style, his novels and short stories have remained popular for more than a century and a half due to their vivid storytelling, memorable characters, and profound social commentary. Dickens began his literary career as a journalist and shot to fame with the serial publication of 'The Pickwick Papers' in 1836. His subsequent works included a collection of literary masterpieces such as 'Oliver Twist,' 'David Copperfield,' 'A Tale of Two Cities,' 'Great Expectations,' and 'Bleak House.' 'A House to Let,' though lesser-known, is a collaborative work that showcases Dickens's interests in the complexities of London life and the plight of the underprivileged. Dickens's influence was such that his work not only shaped the canon of English literature but also contributed significantly to social reform in the 19th century, as he consistently highlighted the injustices of the workhouse, the legal system, and child labor. His empathetic portrayal of the disenfranchised and downtrodden of society made him a beloved figure whose legacy endures to this day. Dickens's literary style, characterized by its vividness, wit, and criticism of social ills, has cemented his status as a literary colossus whose works have been adapted time and again for theater, film, and television, underscoring the timeless relevance of his narratives and the universal appeal of his rich characterizations.
