作者簡介

作者:(英國)狄更斯(Charles Dickens) 狄更斯Charles Dickens(1812~1870),1812年生於英國的朴次茅斯。父親過著沒有節制的生活,負債累累。年幼的狄更斯被迫被送進一家皮鞋油店當學徒,飽嘗了艱辛。狄更斯16歲時,父親因債務被關進監獄。從此,他們的生活更為悲慘。工業革命一方面帶來了19世紀前期英國大都市的繁榮,另一方面又帶來了庶民社會的極端貧困和對童工的殘酷剝削。尖銳的社會矛盾和不公正的社會制度使狄更斯決心改變自己的生活。15歲時,狄更斯在一家律師事務所當抄寫員並學習速記,此後,又在報社任新聞記者。在《記事晨報》任記者時,狄更斯開始發表一些具有諷刺和幽默內容的短劇,主要反映倫敦的生活,逐漸有了名氣。他了解城市底層人民的生活和風土人情,這些都體現在他熱情洋溢的筆端。此後,他在不同的雜誌社任編輯、主編和發行人,其間發表了幾十部長篇和短篇小說,主要作品有《霧都孤兒》、《聖誕頌歌》、《大衛·科波菲爾》和《遠大前程》等。
狄更斯的作品大多取材於與自己的親身經歷或所見所聞相關聯的事件。他在書中揭露了濟貧院駭人聽聞的生活制度,揭開了英國社會底層的可怕秘密,淋漓盡致地描寫了社會的黑暗和罪惡。本書起筆便描寫了主人公奧利弗生下來便成為孤兒,以及在濟貧院度過的悲慘生活。後來,他被迫到殯儀館做學徒,又因不堪忍受虐待而離家出走。孤身一人來到倫敦後,又落入了竊賊的手中。狄更斯在其作品中大量描寫了黑暗的社會現實,對平民階層寄予了深切的向情,並無情地批判了當時的社會制度。他在小說描寫的現實性和人物的個性化方面成績是突出的。他成為繼莎士比亞之後,塑造作品人物數量最多的一個作家
