Le Avventure Di Nicholas Nickleby - Voliii

by Charles Dickens

Overview

Alla tempesta era successa da parecchio la più profonda calma, e la sera era piuttosto inoltrata - finita la cena, il lavoro della digestione, sotto l'influsso della completa tranquillità, dell'allegra conversazione e d'una dose moderata d'acquavite e d'acqua, si svolgeva in quelle favorevoli condizioni in cui i dotti che discutono d'anatomia e di funzioni dell'organismo umano considereranno dovesse svolgersi - quando i tre amici, o come si potrebbe dire, sia in senso civile che religioso, e con giusto riguardo e deferenza per il santo stato coniugale, i due amici (contando, il signore e la signora Browdie per uno solo) furono riscossi di uno strepito...

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.
