书籍简介

查尔斯·狄更斯是一位出色的公众表演者，一位伟大的演说家，也是最著名的维多利亚时代名人之一。狄更斯身材瘦小，性格狂热，精力旺盛，去世时看起来比他58岁的年龄大得多。虽然他指定了一个朴素的葬礼，但人群不可避免地涌向他在威斯敏斯特教堂的露天坟墓。在维多利亚时代，狄更斯经历了生活中最糟糕和最美好的事情，他不仅仅是文学作品中一些最受喜爱的人物进入世界的渠道。他是他们中的一员。
《查尔斯·狄更斯之谜》充满了曲折、悲怆和不寻常的人物，它从这位传奇作家的死亡中回顾了他生命中的关键事件。在此过程中，A. N. 威尔逊试图理解狄更斯的创作天才和持久的受欢迎程度。跟随他从摇篮到坟墓，我们可以清楚地看到，狄更斯的小说来自他自己的经历--他承认这一事实。就像奥利弗-特威斯特一样，狄更斯的童年很悲惨，然后长大后不仅成为一位受人尊敬的绅士，而且成为一位声名远播的艺术家。狄更斯对他笔下的人物所承受的贫困和痛苦有切身体会，包括失败的婚姻带来的丑闻。
威尔逊超越了标准的叙事传记，出色地重新审视了狄更斯广阔而狂野的想象力的源泉，揭示了为什么他的小说会有如此强烈的吸引力，以及为什么它们在今天仍能引起共鸣。他还揭开了这个人和他的时代的双重标准。

Charles Dickens was a superb public performer, a great orator and one of the most famous of the Eminent Victorians. Slight of build, with a frenzied, hyper-energetic personality, Dickens looked much older than his fifty-eight years when he died. Although he specified an unpretentious funeral, it was inevitable that crowds flocked to his open grave in Westminster Abbey. Experiencing the worst and best of life during the Victorian Age, Dickens was not merely the conduit through whom some of the most beloved characters in literature came into the world. He was one of them.
Filled with twists, pathos and unusual characters, The Mystery of Charles Dickens looks back from the legendary writer’s death to recall the key events in his life. In doing so, A. N. Wilson seeks to understand Dickens’s creative genius and enduring popularity. Following him from cradle to grave, it becomes clear that Dickens’s fiction drew from his own experiences – a fact he acknowledged. Like Oliver Twist, Dickens suffered a wretched childhood, then grew up to become not only a respectable gentleman but an artist of prodigious popularity. Dickens knew firsthand the poverty and pain his characters endured, including the scandal of a failed marriage.
Going beyond standard narrative biography, Wilson brilliantly revisits the wellspring of Dickens’s vast and wild imagination, revealing why his novels have such instantaneous appeal and why they continue to resonate today. He also uncovers the double standards of both the man and his times.
