LA BOTTEGA DELL'ANTIQUARIO - VOLI

by Charles Dickens

Overview

È mio costume, vecchio qual sono, d'andare a passeggio quasi sempre di notte. L'estate, spesso, me n'esco di casa la mattina presto, e giro per i campi e i viottoli tutta la giornata, o anche me ne sto lontano per giorni o settimane di fila; ma, tranne che in campagna, di rado esco se non al buio, sebbene, e ne sia ringraziato il Cielo, io ami la luce del giorno e senta, al pari d'ogni creatura vivente, la gioia ch'essa riversa sul mondo. Ho contratto quest'abitudine senza accorgermene, sia perchè seconda la mia infermità, sia perchè m'offre la più favorevole occasione di meditare sul carattere e la occupazione di quanti affollano le vie.

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.
