Beschreibung
A famous humorous novel by one of the greatest English novelists of all time. The novel chronicles the "posthumous writings" of members of the Corresponding Society of the Pickwick Club. As versatile correspondents, Dickens sends them on a journey, penetrating various layers of society. As a keen observer and master of realistic character and scene depiction, he describes the behind-the-scenes practices of certain local elections, journalistic skirmishes between representatives of two rival political parties, unscrupulous legal and judicial practices, the snobbery of spa society, and other aspects of public life that have lost none of their relevance. The novel achieved its greatest fame thanks to the central duo – the idealistic and good-natured Mr. Pickwick and his practical counterpart and devoted servant Sam Weller – who in many ways resemble their immortal counterparts in the characters of Don Quixote and Sancho Panza.
