Dickens

Who hasn't heard about Oliver Twist or Ebenezer Scrooge?

This great English writter can transport us to a magical world through his amazing language management.

His satires of British aristocratic snobbery—he calls one character the "Noble Refrigerator"—are often popular. Comparing orphans to stocks and shares, people to tug boats, or dinner-party guests to furniture are just some of Dickens's acclaimed flights of fancy.

He has been considered as the second best character creator of English Literature, the first one being Shakespeare.

Just to name a few: Tiny Tim, Oliver Twist, David Copperfield, Ebenezer Scrooge, Pip, Miss Havisham, etc.

He depicted the ugly social truths of the 19th Century Londoniers.
