Empezó el puchero. No necesito que me contéis lo que la señora Peerybingle dijera; yo me entiendo. Dejad que la señora Peerybingle se pase hasta la consumación de los siglos asegurando la imposibilidad de decidir cuál empezó: yo digo que fue el puchero. Tengo motivos para saberlo. El puchero empezó cinco minutos antes que el grillo, según el relojito holandés de cuadrante barnizado situado en el rincón. ¡Como si el reloj no hubiese cesado de tocar! ¡Como si el segadorcido de movimientos convulsivos y bruscos que lo remata, paseando la hoz de derecha a izquierda y luego de izquierda a derecha ante la fachada de su palacio morisco, no hubiese segado medio acre de césped imaginario antes que el grillo hubiese hecho notar su presencia! A decir verdad, no fui nunca terco, como todo el mundo sabe. Por nada del mundo opondría mi opinión personal a la opinión de la señora Peerybingle, si no estuviese perfectamente seguro de lo ocurrido. «Nada me induciría a semejante cosa. Pero se trata de una cuestión de hecho, y el hecho es que el puchero empezó por lo menos cinco minutos antes que el grillo hubiese dado señal de vida. Si insistís, apostaré que transcurrieron diez minutos.

Bleak House is a novel by celebrated English author Charles Dickens, first serialised and then published in book form in 1853. The complex plot, aided by a brilliantly depicted and engaging cast of characters, is in many ways a detective story, incorporating as it does elements of crime, mystery and romance.Set in 19th century London, this is an intricate story of the infamous "Jarndyce and Jarndyce" law-suit in which its characters are entangled, the cold and fog seeping from the Thames representing the confounding and pernicious effect on everyone involved in this legal quagmire.A powerful, absorbing literary classic, and an unmissable read.

The Pickwick Papers was Charles Dickens first novel, and became a comic masterpiece that catapulted its twenty-four-year-old author to immediate fame.Readers were captivated by the adventures of the poet Snodgrass, the lover Tupman, the sportsman Winkle &, above all, by that quintessentially English Quixote, Mr. Pickwick, & his cockney Sancho Panza, Sam Weller. From the hallowed turf of Dingley Dell Cricket Club to the unholy fracas of the Eatanswill election, via the Fleet debtor's prison, characters & incidents sprang to life from Dickens's pen, to form an enduringly popular work of ebullient humour & literary invention.

A Child's History of England was published as a serial in Dicken's magazine, Household Words between 1851-1853. He summarizes in separate chapters the reigns of England's monarchy, from Henry III to Richard III. Contrary to the novel's title, it's more suitable to adults than children, in our humble opinion. A Child's History was included in the curricula of British schoolchildren well into the 20th century, with successive editions published from 1851 to World War II.

The Uncommercial Traveller is a collection of literary sketches and reminiscences written by Charles Dickens, published in 1860-1861. In 1859 Dickens founded a new journal called All the Year Round, and the "Uncommercial Traveller" articles would be among his main contributions. He seems to have chosen the title and persona of the Uncommercial Traveller as a result of a speech he gave on 22 December 1859 to the Commercial Travellers' School in London, in his role as honorary chairman and treasurer. The persona sits well with a writer who liked to travel, not only as a tourist, but also to research and report what he found visiting Europe, America and giving book readings throughout Britain. He did not seem content to rest late in his career when he had attained wealth and comfort and continued travelling locally, walking the streets of London in the mould of the flâneur, a "gentleman stroller of city streets".

Siendo Pirrip el apellido de mi padre, y Philip mi nombre de pila, mi lengua infantil no alcanzó a hacer de ambas palabras nada más largo ni más explícito que Pip. Así, yo me llamé a mí mismo Pip, y por Pip vine a ser conocido de los demás. Digo que Pirrip era el apellido de mi padre, fundándome en la autoridad de su losa sepulcral y en la de mi hermana, la señora Joe Gargery, casada con el herrero. Como nunca vi a mi padre ni a mi madre, ni retrato alguno suyo (pues vivieron mucho antes de inventarse la fotografía), mis primeras imaginaciones acerca de cómo habrían sido ellos nacieron, yo no sé por qué, de la contemplación de sus lápidas sepulcrales. La forma de las letras en la de mi padre me dio la extraña idea de que había sido un hombre recio, cuadrado, moreno, con el pelo negro y rizado. De los caracteres y estilo de la inscripción «Y Georgiana, esposa del arriba dicho», saqué la pueril deducción de que mi madre había sido pecosa y enfermiza. A las cinco pequeñas losas, de pie y medio de largo cada una, dispuestas en ordenada fila al lado de la sepultura y consagradas a la memoria de cinco hermanos míos (que abandonaron prematuramente la lucha por la vida), debo la creencia, que he conservado religiosamente, de que todos ellos habían nacido tumbados de espaldas con las manos en los bolsillos, y jamás, mientras estuvieron en este mundo, las habían sacado de allí.

Con frecuencia paseo por la noche. En verano salgo de casa por la mañana y paso el día vagando por campos y veredas; a veces, me ausento varios días o semanas enteras. Pero, si no estoy en el campo, raras veces salgo antes del anochecer. Sin embargo, y doy las gracias al cielo, me encanta la luz del día y, como a todo ser vivo, me llena de alegría verla esparcida sobre la faz de la Tierra. He adoptado este hábito inconscientemente porque se aviene bien con mi enfermedad y me ofrece más posibilidades de especular sobre el carácter y ocupaciones de quienes van por la calle. La claridad y el trajín del mediodía no se adaptan a este tipo de especulaciones ociosas. El vislumbre de una cara a la luz de una farola o de un escaparate conviene mejor a mi propósito que la revelación a la plena luz del día; y, si debo decir la verdad, la noche es más amable a este respecto que el día, el cual, sin la menor ceremonia ni remordimiento, destruye los castillos construidos en el aire en el momento mismo de ser terminados.

An exquisitely illustrated, luxury collector's edition of Dicken's holiday tale. This beautiful edition of Charles Dickens's perennial seasonal favorite offers exquisite illustrations of Marley's ghost, Bob Cratchit's slide down icy Cornhill, Mr. and Mrs. Fezziwig's dance, and Ebenezer Scrooge himself. Arthur Rackham's color wash drawings and silhouettes, first published during the First World War, bring a threatening and haunting atmosphere to Scrooge's ghostly story. Rackham was a leading illustrator in the golden age of book illustration when groundbreaking techniques for color printing were developing fast. He illustrated over sixty books and specialized in children's classics and fairy tales. This landmark edition of A Christmas Carol helped to consolidate the idea of the Dickensian Christmas and the tradition of the Christmas gift book. It is a beautiful version of a classic story, which never ceases to be relevant to our times.
