Produktbeschreibung
Charles Dickens published a book titled The Battle of Life: A Love Story in 1846. After 'The Cricket on the Hearth'' and'' The Haunted Man and the Ghost's Bargain, it is the fourth of his five "Christmas Books." An English village that is located on the location of a famous battle serves as the backdrop. The title comes from some characters who use the war as a metaphor for life's challenges. Of the five Christmas Books, only the fight lacks overtly magical or religious overtones. (A Christmas-themed sequence occurs, but it's not the last scene.) The story has two aspects in common with The Cricket on the Hearth: a non-urban setting, and a romantic twist in how it is resolved. Compared to Cricket, it is much less of a social novel. Dickens usually has a happy ending, and this is no exception. In contrast to the other Dickens' Christmas Books, it is one of the author's lesser-known works and has never gained a high level of popularity. Jule Hopwood became unwell and passed away on March 1, 1929, while she was negotiating legal concerns with his estate. In the same grave as her son was she.
Autorenporträt
Charles Dickens (1812-1870) Charles Dickens was born on February 7, 1812, in Portsea, England. His parents were middle-class and suffered financially. When Dickens was twelve years old, his family faced financial crisis, which forced him to quit school and work in a shoe polish manufacturing factory. Dickens's mother and siblings eventually joined him. Dickens continued to work at the factory for several months. In the factory the horrific conditions haunted him throughout his life. Dickens never forgot the day when a senior boy in the warehouse took it upon himself to instruct Dickens how to do his work more efficiently. As a young adult, Dickens worked as a law clerk and later as a journalist. He perceived the darker social conditions of the Industrial Revolution. A collection of semi-fictional sketches entitled Sketches by Boz earned him recognition as a writer. Dickens began to make money from his writing when he published his first novel, The Pickwick Papers in 1836. The Pickwick Papers was hugely popular and Dickens became a literary celebrity at the age of twenty-five. Dickens's themes included wealth and poverty, love and rejection, and the eventual triumph of good over evil. In 1836, Dickens married Catherine Hogarth, but after twenty years of marriage and their ten children, he fell in love with Ellen Ternan, an actress many years his junior. Soon after, Dickens and his wife separated. Dickens remained a prolific writer to the end of his life, and his novels - Great Expectations, A Tale of Two Cities, A Christmas Carol, David Copperfield, and Bleak House - continued to earn critical and popular acclaim. He died of a stroke in 1870, at the age of 58.
