The Pickwick Papers: Introduction by Peter Washington (Everyman's Library Classics Series) - Hardcover
Synopsis
The Pickwick Club was founded by the most learned minds in London for the purpose of making a scientific tour of the world. Its distinguished members include Mr. Samuel Pickwick, Esg., G.C.M.PC., "presiding"; Augustus Snodgrass; Nathaniel Winkle; and Tracy Tupman, Esq. Yet no sooner have these gentlemen begun their historic journey than they are set upon by a charming but notorious con man, Alfred Jingle. So begins a series of hilarious misadventures that takes the incorrigibly innocent Pickwicks wandering around England, coming in contact with some of the most colorful and comical characters in all fiction, including Dr. Slammer, Dismal Jemmy Hutley, Job Trotter, Wilkins Flasher, and Mr. Serjeant Buzfuz.
This was Dickens' first novel -- and remains his funniest and most loved.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. In this classic social commentary from Dickens, Mr. Samuel Pickwick, retired business man and confirmed bachelor, is determined that after a quiet life of enterprise the time has come to go out into the world. Together with the other members of the Pickwick Club: Tracy Tupman, Augustus Snodgrass and Nathaniel Winkle, the portly innocent embarks on a series of hilariously comic adventures. But can Pickwick retain his good will towards his fellow humans once he discovers the evils of the world?Charles Dickens?s satirical masterpiece, The Pickwick Papers, catapulted the young writer into literary fame when it was first serialized in 1836?37. It recounts the rollicking adventures of the members of the Pickwick Club as they travel about England getting into all sorts of mischief.Laugh-out-loud funny and endlessly entertaining, the book also reveals Dickens?s burgeoning interest in the parliamentary system, lawyers, the Poor Laws, and the ills of debtors? prisons.As G. K. Chesterton noted, ?Before [Dickens] wrote a single real story, he had a kind of vision . . . a map full of fantastic towns, thundering coaches, clamorous market-places, uproarious inns, strange and swaggering figures. That vision was Pickwick.?. Seller Inventory # AMPLE0375405488
