作者简介
查尔斯·狄更斯，(1812-1870)：查尔斯·狄更斯，英国小说家。由于出身贫寒，从小没有在学校接受过正规的教育。他12岁便开始在工厂工作。19世纪初，资本主义开始盛行，这为英国大城市带来了繁荣，同时也造成了许多阴暗面：童工泛滥，工人阶级的生活极度困苦。狄更斯亲身体验到了社会的不公平，他开始通过自学创作小说，同时坚信只有学习才能使他脱离贫困。狄更斯凭借自己的亲身经历在小说中生动地描写了工人阶级大众的日常生活以及他们的喜怒哀乐，因而他的作品很受欢迎。狄更斯还通过诙谐的描写大胆地揭露了社会的不公正现象和社会矛盾。狄更斯最著名的作品包括《远大前程》和《雾都孤儿》等。1870年6月9日，查尔斯·狄更斯去世。他安息于威斯敏斯特教堂，与英国其他伟大的作家葬在一起。尽管人们常批评狄更斯为迎合读者的口味而过于多愁善感，但狄更斯仍与伟大的英国剧作家莎士比亚一样备受尊重，究其原因就是狄更斯创造的人物不仅被赋予了人性和幽默，同时还体现出人类真正的乐观和生命力。
