Charles Dickens' ability to observe and record human character and environment have placed him at the top table of English fiction writers alongside Shakespeare and Austen, and his titles are still as popular today as they were upon first publication. Dickens was a sensation in his own time, his stories as popular upon publication as they are now, where he sits at the summit of English literature. His depictions of Victorian England, in particular, have become so engrained in common consciousness that they are considered as almost historical texts on the age. Nicholas Nickleby was Dickens' third novel, and backed up the successes of Pickwick Papers and Oliver Twist, with the eponymous hero encountering an array of characters and types in the world of Victorian theatre. A Christmas Carol is the immortal tale of mean Ebenezer Scrooge, who ultimately renounces his curmudgeonly and tight-fisted ways after being visited by ghosts at Christmas time. Hard Times reflects Dickens' deepening interests in social inequalities, the story of a fictional milltown in Lancashire borne from time the author spent in Preston in 1854.

Excerpt from Jacob Faithful My father's pipe, literally and metaphorically, was never put out. He had a few apophthegms which brought every disaster to a happy conclusion and, as he seldom or never indulged in words, these sayings were deeply impressed upon my infant memory. One was, It'r no marrying; wb'at'r done can't be be/ped. When once these words escaped his lips, the subject was never renewed. Nothing appeared to move him. The adjurations of those employed in the other lighters, barges, vessels, and boats of every description, who were contending with us for the extra foot of water, as we drifted up or down with the tide, affected him not, further than an extra column or two of smoke rising from the bowl of his pi'pe. To my mother, he used but one expression, T aka z't coolly but it always had the contrary effect with my mother, as it put her more m a passion. It was like pouring oil upon flame, never theless, the advice was good, had it ever been followed. Another favourite expression of my father' s when anything went wrong, and which was of the same pattern as the rest of his philosophy, was, Better luck next time. These aphorisms were deeply impressed upon my memory'; I continually recalled them to mind, and thus I became a philosopher long before my wise teeth were in embryo, or I had even shed the first set with which kind Nature presents. Us, that in the petticoat age we may fearlessly indulge 1n lollipop. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
