'Overdrukken' Summary
De essays in 'Overdrukken' bestrijken uiteenlopende onderwerpen, zoals het leven van een arme man die een octrooi aanvraagt, de werking van het rechtssysteem en de sociale impact van armoede in Londen. In sommige essays, zoals 'De geschiedenis van een armen man die een octrooi verlangde', worden thema's en personages behandeld die later terugkeren in Dickens' romans, zoals 'Kleine Dorrit'. De essays zijn doorspekt met Dickens' scherpe observaties, humor en sociale kritiek. Hij gebruikt zijn pen om de hypocrisie en onrechtvaardigheid van de Victoriaanse maatschappij aan te klagen, en om te pleiten voor verbetering van de levensomstandigheden van de armen en kansarmen. 'Overdrukken' biedt een fascinerend inzicht in de wereld van Dickens en zijn kijk op de sociale problemen van zijn tijd.Book Details
