Описание:

`Sketches by Boz` has long been eclipsed by its successors, yet when this collection of Dickens` earliest published writings appeared in 1836, their genuine originality was immediately recognised and his name was made. The stock-in-trade of the young reporter is evident in the diversity of interest and acuteness of observation that mark the `Sketches`. With a realism that was unique in the 1830s, these pieces encompass the life of a whole city; from the seedy gin shops of central London - its theatres, its courts, its streets at night and the grim prison of Newgate - to the delights of amateur dramatics or parish elections in suburbs such as Stamford Hill, Clapham, Norbury or Richmond. Rich in vitality and humour, they anticipate Dickens` literary achievements in countless ways.
