CHARLES DICKENS
(1812-1870)
Charles Dickens was born in Landspart, a small town near the sea in a middle class family. His father usually spent more than he earned. He was thrown in the debtors' prison when Charles was only ten. At that age the boy went to work at a factory. Later the boy went to school for three years and after that from the age of: 15 he went to work in a lawyer’s office. He continued to educate himself mainly by reading books. At the age of 18 he became a reporter in Parliament.
In 1833 he began to write his first short stories about London life. In 1836 those stories were published as a book, under the title of "Sketches by Boz”. . Boz was the pen-name with which he signed his first work. In 1837 Dickens became well - known to the English reader It was the "Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club" that brought him fame”.
Dickens travelled a lot. At the same time he continued to write. Dickens’ literary heritage is of world importance. He developed the English social novel. He created a wide gallery of pictures of the bourgeois society. He wrote of the workhouses of England and the tragedy of the children who lived there (0liver Twist); he wrote about the problems of education and showed how it crippled children( Nicholas Nickleby).
Dickens wrote about money and its terrible and destructive force over men’s souls (Dombey and Son). David Copperfield one of the most lyrical works of the great novelist; was to some extent autobiographical; it reflected a young man’s life that society. Dickens criticized the negative sides of that society children‘s labour, the system of education. Such problems as marriage and love in the world of his time were also taken up, in this novel.
In "Hard Times" he wrote of the class struggle between the capitalist and the proletariat. "Great Expectations» and "Mutual Friend» reflected an entirely new feeling of the writer that of the loss of illusions. Among his works there are two historical novels.
DQMBEY AND SON
This novel was written in 1848. It is the story of a city businessman, whose only interest in life is his firm. Dombey is busy with money – making and all that surrounds him is of little or no importance. The firm which is his life is called” Dombey and Son” He has a daughter Florence, whom he doesn’t love although the Iittle girl loves him dearly. When at last a son is born, it is he who becomes the centre of Dombey:'s life and interests. He sees in little Paul only a means to continue his money-making business. He doesn't notice that the little boy sickens at school- The little boy can’t get accustomed to school life. Little Paul feels that he will die like his mother died when he was born. He can’t understand why the money couldn’t save his mother and can’t make him strong and healthy.
The death of little Paul is the beginning of Dombey’s misfortunes. His second wife Edith hates him and leaves him. His secretary runs away with his money and ruins him.0nly Florence’s love for him remains unchanged.
Dickens managed to disclose the ugliness of relations based on money in a work of art. Dombey was shown as a cold and tragic figure, a product of the money-making environment. Opposed to him are his two children. Dickens made them loving creatures who despised money. That is why the novel sounds at times as the story of the two children, rather than that of their money-making father.

Video Script
London… as much mud in the streets as if water has newly retired from the face of the earth , smoke lowering down from chimney pots, dogs, horses undistinguished in the darkness, fog everywhere.
Hi all! It’s not like that at all anymore. There is no fog, there is no mud, there are no dogs or horses. In fact it’s not Dickensian. In English if we want to describe hard living or working conditions like something from one of my novels we can call it Dickensian.
Dickensian – describes hard living and working conditions, as often found in Dickens’s novels.
Modern London is very tiring. I think I need to take some rest at one of my favourite public houses. I’m pleased to see it still here.
I can’t believe it. He tried to charge me three pounds fifty for a pint of beer. I told him it’s 10 weeks’ wages for a 12-year-old boy at a factory. I offered him half a penny. And he said: ’Please sir, I want to have some more’ As if stealing one of my lines wasn’t bad enough. When I refused to pay he called me a Scrooge.
In English when we want to talk about someone who hates spending money we can call him a scrooge which is the name of one of my characters, he was very mean with money.
A scrooge is a person who hates spending money.
Scrooge was just one of many characters I created, one of the most memorable in English Literature.
Some say London itself is a character, a character that has changed.
What the dickens is that?
In English if you are surprised or angry you can say: ’What the dickens?’
What the dickens…? – An old-fashioned expression of surprise or anger.
But I am an old-fashioned man, in fact I am dead and I have been dead since 1870. I am buried over there in the Poets’ corner of Westminster Abbey with some of the greatest writers of the English language so in a way I am still here in London although it’s a very different London from my memories. And I will be buried in teachers’ corner along with the greatest teachers of the English language
