Selected Short Fiction - Dickens Charles - 1976

DESCRIPTION

432 pages. Covers have light creasing. Edges of covers have moderate wear. Spine is uncreased. Pages are reasonably tanned. Previous owner's name in ink. This witty and amusing collection of short pieces shows Dickens liberated from the more formal and sustained demands of the novel and experimenting with a diverse range of fictional techniques. In his tales of the supernatural, he creates frighteningly believable, spine-tingling stories of prophetic dreams and visions, as well as more fantastical adventures with goblins and apparitions. Impressionistic sketches combine imaginatively heightened travel journals with wry observations of home and abroad, while in his dramatic monologues, Dickens demonstrates his talent for exploring the secret workings of the human mind. These short works display Dickens's exuberant sense of comedy and character as his imagination is given free rein. Quantity Available: 1. Category: Fiction; Short Stories; ISBN: 0140431039.
