人人有本用

Charles Dickens was one of the greatest writers of England. He was born on the 7th of February, 1812. His father was a clerk in the city of Portsmouth. There Charles first went to school.

   In 1812 the family moved to London, where his father ran into debt and was put in prison. The whole family went to live there. For many years the dark building of the prison was the family's home. When Charles was only ten years old, he had to leave school and began a long and hard struggle with poverty. In order to help the family he went to work at a factory. He worked from early morning till late at night. He was so unhappy there years later he could never speak of the time spent at the factory without pain.

   Many years passed before Charles returned to school. When he graduated, he became a reporter of a newspaper in London. The work of a reporter led him to story-writhing. In 1836, when only twenty-four years of age, Charles Dickens wrote his first book, which made him known both in England and in some other countries. From that time on Charles Dickens devoted himself to literature. Among his best-known books are "Hard Times", "David Copperfield" and "Dombey and Son", all reflecting and criticizing his age. Having a deep sympathy for the labouring people of his time, he wrote about them in many of his books, about their misfortunes and their longings for a better life. He also gave us a true picture of the unhappy life of the children in the workhouse. It is this criticism of the vices of the capitalist system that makes his books so important although he did not call for active struggle against the ruling classes

你发这些无聊的帖子做什么呀？
除了列举他的一点点生平之外，我看不出一般的阅读者能真的理解迪更思的作品的。
关税也要灌点水平呀。
不要是帖子就往版上贴。要不就玩点搞笑的，要不就玩思想。哈哈。
