Über dieses Buch

'But the time will come; and when, in their changed ashes, the growth of centuries unborn has struck its roots, the restless men of distant ages will repair to these again unpeopled solitudes…' Based on a trip taken just short of his thirtieth birthday, American Notes for General Circulation is a dazzling travelogue of Charles Dickens's adventures in North America in 1842. Travelling from Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Richmond, St. Louis, Quebec and more, Dickens writes candidly about his time in America. Impressed by the optimism of American society and captivated by its democratic ideals, Dickens was also critical of the rapid growth of industrialism, America's focus on materialism and its participation in slavery. A compelling artefact of nineteenth century America, American Notes for General Circulation is a fascinating snapshot in time from the perspective of a foreign observer. This audiobook is skilfully read by Matt Addis. Charles Dickens (1812 – 1870) was an English writer and social critic. He is regarded by many as the greatest novelist of the Victorian era. His works enjoyed unprecedented popularity during his lifetime and, by the twentieth century, critics and scholars had recognized him as a literary genius. His novels and short stories are widely read, performed and adapted today.
