Childhood in prison
Dickens was born into the family of a minor official. The father, having not calculated the difficulties of metropolitan life, ended up in a debtors' prison. Charles had to work in a factory, and spend weekends with an unlucky parent.
Clerk and reporter
Still, Dickens Sr. managed to get out of the debt hole and Charles was able to get an education. Having started working in a law firm, he soon found his place in the journalistic environment.
Successful debut
Dickens' reports and articles were liked by subscribers, and his small literary works immediately found their readers. Charles Dickens first published a book in 1836 ("Sketches of Boz"), and his debut novel about the eccentric Mr. Pickwick brought him the love of all reading England.
Glory
Hard work, talent, and great life experience, embodied in the works of Dickens, made his novels the most popular in Victorian England. The story of the orphan Oliver Twist, "Martin Chuzzlewit", "Dombey and Son", the almost autobiographical "David Copperfield" led the writer to the top of the literary Olympus.
Two women
By the age of forty, Charles Dickens had become a well-known and wealthy man. In addition to his writing skills, he was known as an excellent reader, lecturer, newspaper editor. In his first marriage, he had 10 children, but after meeting a young actress, Dickens had an affair with her, which lasted until the end of his life.
Death at the desk
The writer worked hard until the very last days. The need to support a large family and bohemian habits required considerable funds. While writing the detective novel "The Mystery of Edwin Drood", Dickens, working to exhaustion, lost consciousness and died of a stroke.
