David Copperfield - Voliii

by Charles Dickens

Overview

Finalmente, ebbi una risposta dalle due vecchie signorine. Esse mandavano i loro saluti al signor Copperfield, e lo informavano d'aver letto attentamente la sua lettera tenendo di mira la felicità delle due parti - frase che mi sembrò poco rassicurante, non, solo per l'uso da esse fattone relativamente alle discrepanze familiari già ricordate, ma perché avevo (ed ho in tutta la vita) osservato che i termini convenzionali sono una specie di razzi, i quali, facilmente accesi, assumono alla fine una gran varietà di forme e di colori che non s'immaginavano al primo scoppio.

About the Author

Charles Dickens (1812-1870) is probably the greatest novelist England has ever produced, the author of such famous books as A Christmas Carol, Hard Times, Great Expectations, David Copperfield, and Oliver Twist. His innate comic genius and shrewd depictions of Victorian life — along with his indelible characters — have made his books beloved by readers the world over. Dickens was born in Landport, Portsea, England and died in Kent after suffering a stroke. The second of eight children of a family continually plagued by debt, the young Dickens came to know hunger, privation, and the horrors of the infamous debtors' prison and the evils of child labor. These unfortunate early life experiences helped shape many of his greatest works.
