The Uncommercial Traveller is a collection of literary sketches and reminiscences written by Charles Dickens, published in 1860-1861. In 1859 Dickens founded a new journal called All the Year Round, and the "Uncommercial Traveller" articles would be among his main contributions. He seems to have chosen the title and persona of the Uncommercial Traveller as a result of a speech he gave on 22 December 1859 to the Commercial Travellers' School London in his role as honorary chairman and treasurer.

Anch'egli, in fondo al cuore, rideva: e gli bastava questo e non chiedeva altro. In questa natalizia storia di fantasmi Charles Dickens ci conquista da subito con la sua irriverente ironia, per farci poi scendere nel profondo dei segreti più teneri dell’animo di Scrooge, con passo talmente delicato che non ce ne accorgiamo nemmeno.

It was a murky confusion here and there blotted with a color like the color of the smoke from damp fuel of flying clouds tossed up into most remarkable heaps, suggesting greater heights in the clouds than there were depths below them to the bottom of the deepest hollows in the earth, through which the wild moon seemed to plunge headlong, as if, in a dread disturbance of the laws of nature, she had lost her way and were frightened.

„Wer ihn sah in seinem Studierzimmer - halb Bibliothek, halb Laboratorium - er war ein weltberühmter Gelehrter und Chemiker und täglich hingen Hunderte an seinen Lippen - wer ihn dort sah in einsamer Winternacht - unbeweglich - umgeben von seinen Giften und seinen Instrumenten und Büchern, wenn der Schatten seiner Schirmlampe wie ein riesiger Käfer an der Wand hockte und der flackernde Schein des Feuers gespenstische Gestalten malte auf die Wandlungen der fremdartigen, seltsam aussehenden Phiolen, der fühlte, der Mann ist behext und das Zimmer dazu.”

Our Mutual Friend, the last novel completed by Charles Dickens, has many plots, twists and turns, from the murky river Thames to the gold and crystal on the tables of ‘Society’.

Before he started writing novels, Charles Dickens tried his hand at theater. The Village Coquettes is a two act musical. Sadly the music was lost long ago so this will be a spoken version.View our full collection of podcasts at our website: https://www.solgoodmedia.com or YouTube channel: https://www.solgood.org/subscribe Check out our ad free subscription: http://www.adfreesounds.com for our Premium, 10 Hour Sounds

"David Copperfield" or "The Personal History, Adventures, Experience and Observation of David Copperfield the Younger of Blunderstone Rookery" was first published in 1850. Like all except five of his works, it originally appeared in serial form. Many elements within the novel follow events in Dickens' own life, and it is probably the most autobiographical of all of his novels. It is also Dickens' "favorite child."

„Toby Veck war nämlich Dienstmann und wartete dort auf seine Aufträge. Im Winter zu warten war‘s freilich eine windige Stelle, wo man die Gänsehaut bekam, rote Augen und blaue Nasen und sich Zähneklappern und erfrorene Zehen holen konnte. Toby Veck wusste davon ein Lied zu singen. Der Wind blies pfeifend um die Ecke, besonders der Ost. Als wenn er von den äußersten Grenzen der Erde daherkäme, um Toby anzublasen. Und manchmal schien er ihn früher angetroffen zu haben, als er vermutete, denn wenn er um die Ecke kam und an Toby vorüberfuhr, kehrte er plötzlich wieder um, als wollte er sagen, aha, da ist er ja schon.

„Mr. Craggs schien selbst mit seinen Türangeln zu knirschen, als er seine Meinung darlegte, deren Eindruck er durch sein Äußeres bedeutend verstärkte, denn er war ein kalter, trockener, finsterer Mann, in Grau und Weiß gehüllt wie ein Feuerstein, und hatte kleine funkelnde Augen, als ob man Feuer aus ihnen schlüge.

Am Heiligen Abend erscheint dem herzlosen, geizigen und widerlichen Geschäftemacher Ebnezer Scrooge der Geist seines verstorbenen Partners Marley und zeigt ihm die Folgen von Habgier und Einsamkeit. Scrooge ist zutiefst beunruhigt. „Wie ein Christbaum ohne Kerzen ist Weihnachten ohne dieses wunderschöne Märchen von Charles Dickens.“

„Mrs. Peerybingle ging in die unheimliche Dämmerung hinaus und klapperte mit ihren Pantoffeln, unendlich viele rohe Abdrücke des ersten Euklidischen Lehrsatzes auf dem Hofe zurücklassend, über die nassen Steine, um den Kessel aus dem Wasserfass zu füllen. Sodann kehrte sie in das Haus zurück, d. h. ohne die Pantoffel - und das ist ein großer Unterschied, denn die Pantoffel waren hoch und Mrs. Peerybingle war klein - und nun stellte sie den Kessel ans Feuer. Dabei verschwand ihre gute Laune, oder Mrs. Peerybingle hatte sie beiseitegelegt.

Three Ghost Stories is just that: a collection of three different stories that are true Gothic classics. The three stories, The Signal Man, The Haunted House and The Trial for Murder were sensational for their time and continue to hold up well, thanks to Charles Dickens' superb skills at storytelling. The Signal Man is the most well known of the three, chronicling the haunting of a railroad signal man who is visited by a ghost just before a tragic event is to happen on the railway. If you like Dickens and tales of spectres and the supernatural, you'll love Three Ghost Stories.

"The Trial for Murder" is a short story written by Charles Dickens. It was originally published under the title "To Be Taken with a Grain of Salt" as a chapter in Dr. Marigold's Prescriptions in an extra Christmas volume of the weekly literary magazine, All the Year Round. It was later published in 1866 in a collection of ghost stories known as "Three Ghost Stories", along with "The Haunted House" and "The Signal-Man".

The railway signal-man of the title tells the narrator of an apparition that has been haunting him. Each spectral appearance precedes a tragic event on the railway on which the signalman works. The signalman's work is at a signal-box in a deep cutting near a tunnel entrance on a lonely stretch of the railway line, and he controls the movements of passing trains. When there is danger, his fellow signalmen alert him by telegraph and alarms. Three times, he receives phantom warnings of danger when his bell rings in a fashion that only he can hear.

Charles John Huffam Dickens (7 February 1812 - 9 June 1870) was an English writer and social critic. He created some of the world's best-known fictional characters and is regarded as the greatest novelist of the Victorian era. His works enjoyed unprecedented popularity during his lifetime, and by the twentieth century critics and scholars had recognised him as a literary genius. His novels and short stories enjoy lasting popularity.

Our Mutual Friend, written in 1864-1865, is the last novel completed by Charles Dickens and is one of his most sophisticated works, combining savage satire with social analysis. It centres on, in the words of critic J. Hillis Miller, quoting from the character Bella Wilfer in the book, "money, money, money, and what money can make of life". Most reviewers in the 1860s continued to praise Dickens' skill as a writer in general, but did not review this novel in detail.
