作者簡介
查爾斯·狄更斯，(1812-1870)：查爾斯·狄更斯，英國小說家。由於出身貧寒，從小沒有在學校接受過正規的教育。他12歲便開始在工廠工作。19世紀初，資本主義開始盛行，這為英國大城市帶來了繁榮，同時也造成了許多陰暗面：童工泛濫，工人階級的生活極度困苦。狄更斯親身體驗到了社會的不公平，他開始通過自學創作小說，同時堅信只有學習才能使他脫離貧困。狄更斯憑藉自己的親身經歷在小說中生動地描寫了工人階級大眾的日常生活以及他們的喜怒哀樂，因而他的作品很受歡迎。狄更斯還通過詼諧的描寫大膽地揭露了社會的不公正現象和社會矛盾。狄更斯最著名的作品包括《遠大前程》和《霧都孤兒》等。1870年6月9日，查爾斯·狄更斯去世。他安息於威斯敏斯特教堂，與英國其他偉大的作家葬在一起。儘管人們常批評狄更斯為迎合讀者的口味而過於多愁善感，但狄更斯仍與偉大的英國劇作家莎士比亞一樣備受尊重，究其原因就是狄更斯創造的人物不僅被賦予了人性和幽默，同時還體現出人類真正的樂觀和生命力。
