When young orphan, Oliver Twist, is sold into an apprenticeship with an undertaker, he leaves behind years of miserable servitude and mistreatment at an English workhouse. Hoping to move on to better things, he decides to escape his new, equally dreary surroundings and head to London. It is there that the novel unravels as Oliver meets a host of larger-than-life characters, including The Artful Dodger, a high-ranking member of a juvenile pickpocketing gang, and their elderly leader, Fagin.

In true Dickensian fashion, The Old Curiosity Shop offers a humorous yet devastating depiction of both the most honourable and most corrupt members of 19th-century English society. Hailed by Queen Victoria as being ‘interesting and cleverly written', The Old Curiosity Shop introduces listeners to the uniquely colourful characters of Nell Trent, her young friend, Kit, her doting grandfather and the evil moneylender to whom they all fall prey, Daniel Quilp.

This short collection of readings from Charles Dickens pulls together stories from various parts of his life as well as from the novels themselves.

Dans l'Angleterre victorienne, Oliver Twist, jeune orphelin angélique, est recueilli par l'assistance ; il est placé chez M. et Mme Sowerberry, fabricant de cercueils et croque-mort de son état. Là, il ne connaît que privations et mauvais traitements. Oliver endure tout, jusqu'au jour où une provocation d'un apprenti le pousse à se battre puis à s'enfuir vers Londres.

Elevé à la mort de ses parents par le redoutable dragon domestique que le Ciel lui a donné pour sœur, Pip (Philip Pirrip) semble promis à l'existence obscure d'un jeune villageois sans fortune. C'est compter sans la bienveillance des divinités tutélaires qui veillent sur son enfance. Car Pip a le privilège de vivre au milieu de créatures singulières dont l'existence seule accrédite la croyance au miracle.

The Pickwick Papers, Dickens's first novel, is a delightful romp through the pre-Reform Bill England of 1827. Samuel Pickwick and the rest of the Pickwickians are some of the most memorable of all Dickens's creations, and it is a joy to hear of their adventures in search of "interesting scenes and characters", and the repeated efforts of the quick-witted Sam Weller to rescue them all from disaster.

Ebenezer Scrooge era un hombre avaro. Su avaricia y frialdad arrugaron sus facciones, enrojecieron sus ojos y tornaron sus labios de color azul. Hasta su forma de caminar fue endurecida por ahorrar energías. Era tal su avaricia que ni el mal clima podía quitarle una reacción. Para el Sr. Scrooge, Navidad era una fecha caracterizada por la ineficiencia. Detestaba la ineficiencia, el gasto innecesario de dinero en regalos para personas mal agradecidas y caridades para holgazanes y vagabundos indignos de ayuda.
