A proposito di questo titolo
‘The past is to cherish; the future is to relish.’
Initially serialised in Bentley’s Miscellany, a literary journal edited by Dickens at the time, The Mudfog Papers is a compelling early illustration of Dickens’s satirical style and wit.
First published in the 1830s, The Mudfog Papers is a humorous collection of stories and sketches set in the fictional town of Mudfog. A gentle mockery of some of the intellectual societies at the time – particularly the British Association for the Advancement of Science – the narratives in this anthology revolve around the Mudfog Society for the Advancement of Everything, characterised through its eccentric (and sometimes foolish) members, pseudo-scientific theories and bizarre inventions. In many ways, The Mudfog Papers is a delightful continuation of The Pickwick Papers, and again cements Dickens’s status as a master of satire. This audiobook edition is skilfully read by David Timson.
Charles Dickens (1812 – 1870) was an English writer and social critic. He is regarded by many as the greatest novelist of the Victorian era. His works enjoyed unprecedented popularity during his lifetime and, by the twentieth century, critics and scholars had recognized him as a literary genius. His novels and short stories are widely read, performed and adapted today.
