Titles in Collection & Description
Discover the fascinating life and legacy of Charles Dickens with Biographic: Dickens, a visually engaging biography from the innovative Great Lives in Graphic Form series. Combining intriguing facts and figures with colourful infographics, this book offers a fresh and entertaining look at the celebrated writer behind some of the greatest novels of the Victorian era.
Charles Dickens (1812–1870) was one of the most influential novelists of the Victorian period, creating unforgettable works including David Copperfield, Great Expectations, Oliver Twist and A Christmas Carol. His writing captured the characters, struggles and social realities of 19th-century Britain and continues to be read around the world.
But there is much more to Dickens than his famous novels.
Biographic: Dickens presents 50 defining facts, dates, thoughts, habits and achievements from his life, work and legacy in vivid visual snapshots. Discover that Dickens is credited with inventing more than 200 original words and phrases, and that he had some rather unusual personal habits, including always sleeping with his head facing north in an attempt to combat insomnia.
The book also explores Dickens''s prolific correspondence: he sent more than 14,000 letters during his lifetime. And in one of the more unusual details of his life, Dickens kept a beloved pet raven named Grip, which was later preserved after its death.
Through engaging infographics and fascinating facts, this book reveals the writer behind the words and offers a memorable introduction to one of Britain''s greatest literary figures.
