La Piccola Dorrit- Voliii

by Charles Dickens

Overview

È tanto difficile arrestare una epidemia morale, quanto una epidemia fisica; essa si dilata con la rapidità medesima della peste; il contagio, fatti i primi progressi, non risparmia nè gradi, nè professioni; coglie le persone più robuste, i temperamenti che meno sembrano soggetti ad essere attaccati. Son fatti questi dimostrati dall'esperienza, com'è dimostrato che l'aria è necessaria alla vita dell'uomo. Il massimo dei benefizii che si potesse rendere al genere umano sarebbe di arrestare ed isolare (strangolarli no, che sarebbe troppo), prima che l'infezione si propagasse, gli animi incancreniti, la cui debolezza e perversità diffonde questi terribili flagelli.

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.
