When the writer writes about the writer, this is always curious and much speaks of both of them. Peter Akraid wrote about Dickens for many years, starting with the stylized novel the Great London Fire and ending with grandiose biographical labor in more than a thousand pages.
According to Akraid himself, the biographer should act like an archaeologist who carefully walks on the life field of the object of study in search of almost invisible traces of a long time that has long been left.
In 35 chapters and 7 deviations, the author step by step shows how the inner world of Dickens was formed under the influence of the most important events of English history,
such as the movement of Bentamites, Gordonian riots, chartism, the beginning of the Victorian era and (an event, perhaps even more important) London’s sanitary reform.
The exact bibliographic notes reveal the vast sources that Akraid used, creating a novel. According to him, he re -read all Dickens novels several times, and also read all the correspondence, "hundreds, if not thousands of unpublished letters." The pointer compiled by Akraid gives the quintessence of the most important persons and events in the life of the great writer.
The book is designed for a wide range of readers
