Drawing on Dickens’s experience as a journalist and reporter in London and the surrounding countryside, the novel is a series of loosely related comical adventures of the members of the Pickwick Club, founded by the novel’s main character, Mr. Samuel Pickwick. Mr. Pickwick is a wealthy and bored old gentleman who suggests that he and the club members, Tracy Tupman, Augustus Snodgrass, and Nathaniel Winkle, venture outside London and report on their experiences to each other. From encounters with highwaymen, a duel, romantic escapades, and a brief stay in Fleet Prison, these wild and hilarious adventures form the basis of the novel’s plot. “The Pickwick Papers” gained immense popularity and became one of the first publishing successes of the pre-Victorian era when the character of Sam Weller was introduced in Chapter Ten. Sam is hired on as Mr. Pickwick’s valet and his wise Cockney observations and advice stand in contrast to the naïve and unworldly Mr. Pickwick. Through its numerous well-loved characters and settings, the novel affords the reader a fascinating and entertaining glimpse into 19th century England.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublished 1940s \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dane Books \u0026 Gifts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44962948350252,"sku":"","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}]},{"product_id":"charles-dickens-barnaby-rudge-vol-2","title":"Charles Dickens BARNABY RUDGE Vol. 2","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eExcerpt from Barnaby Rudge \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHe opened the glass of the dull lamp, whose wick, burnt up and swollen like a drunkard's nose, came ?y ing off in little carbuncles at the candle's touch, and scattering hot sparks about rendered it matter of some difficulty to kindle the lazy taper; when a noise, as of a man snoring deeply some steps higher up, caused him to pause and listen. It was the heavy breathing of a. Sleeper, close at hand. Some fellow had lain down on the open staircase, and was slumbering soundly. Hav ing lighted the candle at length and opened his own door, he softly ascended, holding the taper high above his head, and peering cautiously about; curious to see what kind of man had chosen so comfortless a shelter for his lodging. With his head upon the landing and his great limbs ?ung over half a dozen stairs, as carelessly as though he were a dead man whom drunken bearers had thrown down by chance, there lay Hugh, face uppermost, his long hair drooping like some wild weed upon his wooden pillow, and his huge chest heaving with the sounds which so unwontedly disturbed the place and hour. He who came upon him so unexpectedly was about to break his rest by thrusting him with his foot, when, glancing at his upturned face, he arrested himself in the very ao tion, and stooping down and shading the candle with his hand, examined his features closely. Close as his first inspection was, it did not suffice, for he passed the light, still carefully shaded as before, across and across his face, and yet observed him with a searching eye.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublished 1940s \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dane Books \u0026 Gifts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44962969583916,"sku":"","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}]},{"product_id":"charles-dickens-nicholas-nickleby-vol-1","title":"Charles Dickens Nicholas Nickleby Vol 1","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold a-text-italic\"\u003eNicholas Nickleby\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e (1838) by Charles Dickens is a classic novel about a young man's journey into adulthood.

First published serially from 1842 to 1844, it is the story of young Martin Chuzzlewit, who has been raised by his grandfather. He has fallen in love with his grandfather’s ward and caretaker, the young orphan Mary Graham. Martin’s grandfather does not approve and young Martin alienates himself from his grandfather and begins working for the corrupt and dishonest Seth Pecksniff. Though he meets the kind Tom Pinch during this apprenticeship, Martin is fired and decides to travel to the United States to find his fortune. However, this new and wild land is a much harsher place than Martin was prepared for and he nearly dies of malaria. The experience matures and improves him though, and upon his return he reconciles with his grandfather and reveals the crimes of other characters in Dickens’s exceptional cast of characters, particularly those of Pecksniff and the arch-villain Jonas Chuzzlewit. A dark comedy, full of greed, manipulation, and duplicity intertwined with humility and generosity, “Martin Chuzzlewit” is an exemplary story that carries a timeless message of selfless kindness for others.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublished 1940s \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dane Books \u0026 Gifts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44962992849196,"sku":"","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}]},{"product_id":"charles-dickens-nicholas-nickleby-vol-2","title":"Charles Dickens Nicholas Nickleby Vol 2","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold a-text-italic\"\u003eNicholas Nickleby\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e (1838) by Charles Dickens is a classic novel about a young man's journey into adulthood.
