Charles Dickens - Posthumous Notes of the Pickwick Club in 2 volumes. Gift books bound in genuine leather.

"The Posthumous Notes of the Pickwick Club is a book that brought the English writer Charles Dickens literary fame and unprecedented success. With all its scope and corresponding volume, this work is the complete opposite of the strict genre of the novel. A series of fascinating comic pictures from the life of old England, this curious epic, is freed from unnecessary conventions and genre shackles, while benefiting from inimitable tonality and joyful atmosphere. The unpredictable, naive and cheerful protagonist of the book - Mr. Pickwick, a ruddy, moderately well-fed man in the prime of life - had to try everything in life, including a close acquaintance with prison, court, inns and parliamentary debates.
