La tienda de antigüedades

Por Charles Dickens

La tienda de antigüedades es una de las obras de Dickens más desconocidas en España y, pese a ello, de las que más fama dieron al autor. Tras la publicación del último capítulo, los lectores estadounidenses irrumpieron en los muelles de Nueva York para pedir noticias acerca del final a los marineros que volvían de Inglaterra.

Recientemente, periódicos estadounidenses compararon la excitación popular ante la publicación del último tomo de Harry Potter con la de La tienda de antigüedades.

Charles Dickens

Charles Dickens was born in 1812 near Portsmouth, where his father worked as a clerk. Living in London in 1824, Dickens was sent by his family to work in a blacking-warehouse, and his father was arrested and imprisoned for debt. Fortunes improved and Dickens returned to school, eventually becoming a parliamentary reporter. His first piece of fiction was published by a magazine in December 1832, and by 1836 he had begun his first novel, The Pickwick Papers. He focused his career on writing, completing fourteen highly successful novels, as well as penning journalism, shorter fiction and travel books. He died in 1870.
