A work that brought the author literary fame and unprecedented success.
One of the most charming works of English humorous literature. The book, after its release, made the young journalist Charles Dickens the most popular writer in England.
Four “true English gentlemen”—the kindest Samuel Pickwick, perpetually getting into trouble; the elderly romantic Tracy Tupman, who never wrote a single poem; “the poet” Augustus Snodgrass; and the bumbling sportsman Nathaniel Winkle—set out in search of adventure…
For two centuries after the first publication, the novel The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club still remains one of the readers’ favorite books around the world.
