Publisher's summary

"Dickens is the highest poetic expression of the English tradition between the heroic century of Napoleon, the glorious past, and imperialism, the dream of his future. (...) Only when one hates the hypocritical narrow-mindedness of Victorian culture from the bottom of one's soul can one appreciates with full admiration the genius of a man who compelled us to find this disgusting world of sated sluggishness interesting and almost endearing, who redeemed life's most banal prose into poetry." A biographical masterpiece: The biography of Charles Dickens in the famous, lively, novelistic style of Stefan Zweig.

NOT the “German edition”

This audiobook is narrated in English. I’ve contacted Audible on three separate occasions about this fact, but they refuse to make the correction.

This is not essential Zweig, but is a short, illuminating look at how Dickens’ work perfectly suited the bourgeois English culture of the time, and how his humor redeemed any flaws.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
