内容概要

狄更斯Charles Dickens(1812～1870)，1812年生于英国的朴次茅斯。父亲过着没有节制的生活，负债累累。年幼的狄更斯被迫被送进一家皮鞋油店当学徒，饱尝了艰辛。狄更斯16岁时，父亲因债务被关进监狱。从此，他们的生活更为悲惨。工业革命一方面带来了19世纪前期英国大都市的繁荣，另一方面又带来了庶民社会的极端贫困和对童工的残酷剥削。尖锐的社会矛盾和不公正的社会制度使狄更斯决心改变自己的生活。15岁时，狄更斯在一家律师事务所当抄写员并学习速记，此后，又在报社任新闻记者。在《记事晨报》任记者时，狄更斯开始发表一些具有讽刺和幽默内容的短剧，主要反映伦敦的生活，逐渐有了名气。他了解城市底层人民的生活和风土人情，这些都体现在他热情洋溢的笔端。此后，他在不同的杂志社任编辑、主编和发行人，其间发表了几十部长篇和短篇小说，主要作品有《雾都孤儿》、《圣诞颂歌》、《大卫·科波菲尔》和《远大前程》等。



    狄更斯的作品大多取材于与自己的亲身经历或所见所闻相关联的事件。他在书中揭露了济贫院骇人听闻的生活制度，揭开了英国社会底层的可怕秘密，淋漓尽致地描写了社会的黑暗和罪恶。本书起笔便描写了主人公奥利弗生下来便成为孤儿，以及在济贫院度过的悲惨生活。后来，他被迫到殡仪馆做学徒，又因不堪忍受虐待而离家出走。孤身一人来到伦敦后，又落入了窃贼的手中。狄更斯在其作品中大量描写了黑暗的社会现实，对平民阶层寄予了深切的向情，并无情地批判了当时的社会制度。他在小说描写的现实性和人物的个性化方面成绩是突出的。他成为继莎士比亚之后，塑造作品人物数量最多的一个作家。

章节摘录

　　For many days Oliver remained in the Jews room， picking the marks out of the pocket-handkerchiefs （of which a great number were brought home）， and sometimes taking part in the game already described， which the two boys and the Jew played regularly every morning. At length he began to languish for the fresh air， and took many occasions of earnestly entreating the old gentleman to allow him to go out to work with his two companions.　　Oliver was rendered the more anxious to be actively employed， by what he had seen of the stern morality of the old gentlemans character. Whenever the Dodger or Charley Bates came home at night empty-handed， he would expatiate with great vehemence on the misery of idle and lazy habits， and would enforce upon them the necessity of an active life by sending them supperless to bed. On one occasion， indeed， he even went so far as to knock them both down a flight of stairs; but this was carrying out his virtuous precepts to an unusual extent.　　At length one morning Oliver obtained the permission he had so eagerly sought. There had been no handkerchiefs to work upon for two or three days， and the dinners had been rather meagre. Perhaps these were the reasons for the old gentlemans giving his assent; but， whether they were or　　no， he told Oliver he might go， and placed him under the joint guardianship of Charley Bates and his friend the Dodger.　　The three boys sallied out; the Dodger with his coatsleeves tucked up， and his hat cocked， as usual; Master Bates sauntering along with his hands in his pockets; and Oliver between them， wondering where they were going， and what branch of manufacture he would be instructed in first.
