'Pickwick-Club' Summary
De Pickwick Papers, geschreven door Charles Dickens, is een satirische roman die de misadventures volgt van Samuel Pickwick en zijn metgezellen. De roman is opgebouwd uit een reeks komische episodes, die elk de eigenaardigheden en dwaasheden van de karakters en het sociale landschap van het vroege Victoriaanse Engeland laten zien. Pickwick, een goedhartige en enigszins naïeve heer, wordt vaak geconfronteerd met situaties die de absurdheid en hypocrisie van de maatschappij onthullen. Zijn trouwe knecht, Sam Weller, zorgt voor komische verlichting en een pragmatischer perspectief op de wereld. De roman is opmerkelijk vanwege zijn levendige karakteriseringen, vlotte dialoog en exploratie van sociale thema's door de lens van humor.Book Details
