La Piccola Dorrit - Voli

by Charles Dickens

Overview

Una trentina d'anni fa, Marsiglia bruciava un giorno ai raggi infocati del sole. Nella Francia meridionale, un sole ardente in un giorno canicolare di agosto non era allora un fenomeno più strano di quanto in altri tempi sia stato o di quanto sia adesso. Ogni cosa dentro ed intorno a Marsiglia pareva che avesse sbarrato gli occhi, abbagliata ed abbagliante, al cielo infocato; fino al punto che questo fissarsi ed abbagliarsi a vicenda era ivi divenuto come una mania generale. I forestieri venivano abbagliati dalla accesa bianchezza delle case, dei muri, delle vie, dal bagliore delle strade aride e delle prossime colline il cui verde era stato arso.

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.
