Résumé

Un matin de Noël, la joyeuse troupe des " Picwickiens ", aimables gentlemen partis au hasard des campagnes anglaises pour rendre compte de leurs " explorations " aux correspondants de leur club, se prépare à une séance de patinage. Quand Samuel Pickwick, leur membre fondateur, s'élance à son tour sur la glace, celle-ci cède sous le poids de son auguste bedaine... Mais, après tout, l'objet du club n'était-il pas de témoigner du danger des voyages, quand bien même ils ne conduiraient pas plus loin que le Kent ? Cette scène, l'une des plus fameuses de la littérature britannique, est l'oeuvre d'un jeune auteur de 24 ans que son premier roman, paru en feuilleton en 1836-1837, propulsa vers la gloire.
