Résumé
Édition enrichie de Isabelle Gadoin comportant une préface et un dossier sur l’œuvre.Écrites entre 1840 et 1866, souvent pour Noël, ces dix histoires allient le bizarre, le grotesque et la fantaisie. Dix contes dans lesquels le narrateur se fait le relais d’une anecdote, tragique ou comique, qui lui a été confiée, ou retranscrit des confessions inquiétantes, d'hommes hantés par des visions, des esprits, par leur passé ou leurs fautes. L’inspiration gothique et fantastique – celle des maisons hantées des romans à sensation – rejoint la veine ludique et la verve du pasticheur. Dickens traite ses fantômes avec un entrain et une délectation qui nous les rendent réjouissants, et démontre une fois encore ses talents d’illusionniste.

Charles Dickens was an English novelist and social critic known for creating iconic fictional characters. He is considered one of the greatest Victorian-era novelists. His works, such as "A Christmas Carol," "Oliver Twist," and "Great Expectations," are frequently adapted and evoke images of early Victorian London. Dickens drew inspiration from his own experiences, including his father's imprisonment for debt. He began his career as a journalist and writer in his early twenties, and his unique style and humor quickly gained him fame. Dickens was also known for his philanthropy and advocacy for social issues. He made a trip to the United States and Canada in 1842 and expressed his condemnation of slavery. Dickens's novels often depicted the struggles of the poor and disadvantaged, challenging societal norms and advocating for change. Despite some criticism of his sentimentality, Dickens's popularity remained strong, and he is regarded as one of the greatest British novelists. He left a lasting legacy, with museums and festivals dedicated to his life and works.
