La Piccola Dorrit - Volii

by Charles Dickens

Overview

La stessa sera la piccola Dorrit ricevette la visita del signor Plornish, il quale avendole fatto capire di volerle parlare a quattr'occhi con un tossire continuo e poco naturale che diè occasione al padre di lei di dimostrare la verità dell'assioma non esservi peggior sordo di quello che non vuol sentire, ottenne finalmente la bramata udienza sulla scala comune dietro la porta. - Ci abbiamo avuto una signora oggi, signorina Dorrit, - disse Plornish borbottando, - una signora in compagnia di una vecchia strega che la simile non s'è vista mai. Perbacco, se mi ha fatto girare il capo, che non me lo sento più!

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.
