<DIV><b>The engaging biography of one of the most celebrated and enduring authors of Western literature </b></div><DIV><BR>Charles Dickens grew up in harsh poverty and became one of the world&rsquo;s most beloved authors. Biographer Fred Kaplan takes a brilliant, multifaceted approach in his examination of Dickens&rsquo;s life: his fraught marriage and relationships; the ever-present effects of his humble beginnings; his extensive, but carefully managed, public life; and his friendships with famous writers. <i>Dickens</i> unearths the complex passions that drove both the man and his work, illuminating why the legendary author&mdash;just like the characters in his fiction&mdash;has remained a mammoth figure in Western literature.</div>
