Why was Thomas a Becket murdered in Canterbury Cathedral? Who was Hereward the Wake? Was King Canute really trying to stop the tide? Interesting and informative, "A Child's History of England" takes readers on a fascinating journey, from Ancient England and the Romans to the reign of Queen Victoria. Full of gallant heroes and brutal villains, high adventure and terrible tragedy, it will appeal to anyone (including adults ) who enjoys a good story. As David Starkey wrote, "In 'A Child's History' we see Dickens near the height of his powers: combining a mastery of plain language, sharp if sometimes heavy irony, and the keenest eye for evocative detail. . . . Dickens had no interest in serving up the bland fare that others may have felt more suitable for a child's palate--and less threatening to the status quo. His is sectarian history: radical, opinionated, and, to most readers, all the better for it." Newly formatted and typeset in a modern 6-by-9-inch format by Waking Lion Press.

Aus dem Buch: "Übrigens glaube ich aufrichtig, daß die öffentlichen Einrichtungen und Wohltätigkeitsanstalten dieser Hauptstadt von Massachusetts der Vollkommenheit so nahe kommen, wie die weiseste Überlegung, Wohlwollen und Menschlichkeit sie nur immer bringen können. Nie hat mich der Anblick eines stillen Glückes, bei aller Entbehrung und Entblößung, mehr erfreut als bei meinem Besuch dieser Anstalten."

Der junge Martin Chuzzlewit wird von seinem Großvater und Namensvetter aufgezogen. Dieser sehr wohlhabende Mann ist davon überzeugt, dass jeder um ihn herum hinter seinem Geld her ist und hat deshalb bereits Jahre zuvor, bevor die Handlung des Romans einsetzt, sich entschlossen, eine junge Waise aufzuziehen. Mary, diese Waise, soll seine Pflegerin im Alter sein: So lange er lebt, wird sie gut versorgt sein, nach seinem Tod jedoch mittellos dastehen. Das soll ihr Antrieb sein, für sein Wohlergehen zu sorgen, während seine Verwandten von seinem Tod profitieren werden. Allerdings verliebt sich sein Enkel und Erbe Martin in Mary und ruiniert mit seinem Heiratswunsch die Pläne des alten Martin Chuzzlewit. Er verlangt deshalb von seinem Enkel, die Verlobung zu lösen und enterbt ihn, als dieser dem nicht nachkommt. Charles Dickens (1812-1870) war ein englischer Schriftsteller.

Bleak House ist der neunte Roman von Charles Dickens. Die Rahmenhandlung bildet ein viele Jahre anhaltender Erbschaftsstreit Jarndyce gegen Jarndyce. Dickens erzählt hierbei die Geschichte vieler Menschen, die direkt und indirekt mit dem Fall verbunden sind. Dabei werden in den vielen Erzählsträngen die Personen und Geschichten immer mehr miteinander verwoben. Neben einem omnipräsenten Erzähler, erzählt auch Esther Summerson, eine der Hauptfiguren im Roman, Teile des Romans aus ihrer Sicht der Ich-Erzählung. Bleak House ist einerseits ein Gesellschaftsroman, der das Leben vor allem der englischen Oberschicht sowie ihrer Beziehungen zur Mittel- und Unterschicht im 19. Jahrhundert charakterisiert, andererseits eine satirische Abrechnung mit dem englischen Rechtssystem, insbesondere dem Court of Chancery, der unter anderem Erbschaftsstreitigkeiten regelte. In den letzten Kapiteln enthält das Buch auch Elemente eines Kriminalromans. Charles Dickens (1812-1870) war ein englischer Schriftsteller.
