作者風采

查理?狄更斯(1812—1870)是19世紀英國最杰出的小說家。他于1812年2月7曰出生在英國南部樸茨茅斯一個小資產階級家庭。1832年開始從事文學創作，先后寫了歌劇、笑劇、隨筆、長篇小說和短篇小說，以長篇小說最為成功?！鹅F都孤兒》是這一時期的代表作，此外還有《匹克威克外傳》。從1842年到1848年，是他的創作走向成熟的時期。這時期他先后到過美國、意大利、瑞士、法國旅游考察。作品有中短篇小說集《圣誕故事集》和長篇小說《董貝父子》。從1849年到1870年，是狄更斯創作取得輝煌成就的時期。他的重要代表作，都是在這一時期寫成的。先后寫的《大衛?科波菲爾》、《荒涼山莊》、《艱難時世》、《雙城記》、《孤星血淚》等長篇小說，這些作品把揭露與批判的矛頭直接指向英國的國家制度、政治機構和建立在金錢基礎上的社會關系，同時對勞資沖突和工人命運給予了極大的關注。狄更斯不知疲倦地從事文學創作活動30余年，最后在寫作長篇小說《艾德溫?杜魯德之謎》的過程中，因勞累過度而猝然逝世，那一天是1870年6月9曰。

名人趣聞

狄更斯替友還賭債

狄更斯有一個面之交的朋友詹姆堂森。詹姆堂森有次賭錢欠了查利德五千英鎊，查利德限他一個星期內還清。詹姆堂森十分為難，想起了那位一面之交、卻待人友善的朋友，就求助于狄更斯，狄更斯滿口答應替他還債。

詹姆堂森帶了查利德去找狄更斯，只見室內空空蕩蕩，只有一張床和一張堆滿稿紙和酒瓶的桌子，查利德用一種懷疑的口吻問道：“詹姆堂森欠我的債你來替還他，是嗎?”狄更斯答道：“是的。”查利德哼哼說：“憑你這些廢紙和破酒瓶，就能還清這筆巨債嗎?”狄更斯說：“當然不是憑這些，而是憑我的左手?！?/p>

狄更斯當時已經聞名整個英國和歐洲，但由于他不喜歡在交際場合拋頭露面，認識他的人極少，只是聽說他用左手寫作。當查利德一聽說這人用左手寫作，大吃一驚：“難道你就是狄更斯?”狄更斯點了一下頭：“你算猜對了。”查利德趕緊握住狄更斯的手，興奮地說道：“能認識你，價值就不止5000英鎊了，詹姆堂森的債就算抵消了。”站在一旁的詹姆堂森簡直不相信自己的眼睛，這位一面之交的朋友竟然是大名鼎鼎的狄更斯。

面對查利德的殷勤，狄更斯笑笑說：“你剛進來時，盛氣凌人，現在又變得這樣彬彬有禮，如果把這些作為題材寫成小說，它的價值同樣不止5000英鎊!”一席話說得這個勢利的債主十分尷尬。狄更斯替友還賭債的佳話也就這么傳開了。

As we all known , Oliver Twist is the world's masterpiece by prominent British author Charles Dickens.Thus , I spent a month reading it.When I finished this book, I could not calm the mood for a long time.The hero of this novel was Oliver Twist, an orphan, whose mother was died after giving birth to him.So he was thrown into a world full of poverty and crime.He suffered enormous pain, such as hunger, thirst, beating and abuse.While reading the tragic experiences of the little Oliver, I was shocked by his sufferings and felt for the poor boy.In addition , the charitable figures whom Dickens created in the novel are really what we need in life.They showed love and care to others, just as the gentle rain from the sky fell upon the earth, which was carved into my heart deeply.Mr.Brownlow is one such person.He known Oliver Twist by accident,although there were many things happening between them ,dramatically, they came across each other again a few years later.Without hesitation, he took Oliver home for the second time not caring if he had done something evil.What Mr.Brownlow did taught us a lesson , just as the old saying went , “To error is human;to forgive divine.”, Therefore, we ought to give people a second chance no matter what they might have done.That’s also a substantial part of loving and caring others.Mrs.Maylie ,Miss Rose and Nancy are also these kind of people , who are Oliver’s other

benefactors.In the novel, though the young Oliver again and again fell for conspiracies of those hideous thieves, who tried to torture Oliver’s body and poisoned Oliver’s heart intensely, he always lived on and tried hard to seek for his own life.Then I realized what supported him all through were actually beliefs.In most cases, what you believe is what you’ll become.Believe that you are unlimited, that you can do anything you commit to doing, and when you do, your accomplishments will know no bounds.You control your beliefs and that is how you ultimately control your life.It’s all dictated by your attitude.There is no doubt that we should learn form Oliver , no matter what we meet , we can’t give up.What’s more ,we must believe in that the goodness eventually can conquer devil.All in all , Oliver Twist is well worth reading.

BOOK REPORT_Oliver Twist

Charles Dickens is one of the most famous novelists of the Victorian Age.When Charles Dickens was young, his father was put into prison.During this time, Dickens was living by himself and working in the underground cell of a shoe blacking factory.Maybe it is because this period of experience that makes Charles Dickens’s works are more focused on the living condition of the poor.In many of his novels, Dickens showed his sympathy for the poor.Just like this book-Oliver Twist in which Charles Dickens described the miserable life of the poor children and exposed the seedy side of the society at that time.Oliver Twist is one of Charles Dickens' most popular stories.Oliver Twist was born in a workhouse in 1930s.Later, he was sent to a Coffin shop as an apprentice.As he couldn’t endure the oppression from his boss, he fled to London.However, on the way to London, he was cheated into the haunt of thieves and trained to be a thief.On one occasion, he was taken in by a rich man—Mr.Brownlow.But unfortunately, he was framed and entrapped into the haunt of thieves again.But Oliver still believes that there are hopes in his life.Finally, Nancy, a kind-hearted woman pickpocket, rescued Oliver from dangers despite the threat of the thief-in-chief and told Brownlow that actually Oliver is his good friend’s son.Nancy was killed at the end of the story, but the police surround the haunt of thieves immediately and Oliver reunited with his family members.Of the characters in this story, Oliver, Nancy and Miss Ross represent the goodness that they are born in suffering, grow in dark world, but still keep a heart of

gold.None of the hardships can through them into the hell.Oliver is a brave and strong child that he suffered enormous pain, such as hunger, thirst, beating and abuse.But no matter how tough his life is he never gives up his belief.What’s more, in Oliver Twist, morality and nobility are always black-and-white issues.Just like Monks, who was a greedy, ruthless, shameless person, represents the black, Olive can represents the white.But Nancy, a thief who has done something bad, finally been influenced by Oliver and decided to help Oliver.This gives us the implication that the boundary between virtue and vice is not always so distinct.Charles Dickens praised ideal human nature and interpersonal relationships and he hoped to use his pen to express his ideals in that the reality is very cruel.So, through this novel, Dickens criticized the seedy side of the capitalist society at that time and expressed his deep sympathy about the bottom class who lived in a miserable life.In this way the people could realize the social reality and consider more about their behavior.But on the other hand, Dickens shows his wish through this novel that people should firm their belief no matter what they are suffering about and evil can never prevail over good.
