Charles Dickens

His experience of poverty gave him an extraordinary sensitivity to ordinary people and to the injustices of his time. In gripping, profoundly human novels with a sharp social edge, he captivated readers around the world and created unforgettable characters such as Oliver Twist and the miser Ebenezer Scrooge. With remarkable power, he exposed the injustices of Victorian England and remains one of the most widely read classics of world literature.
