匹克威克外传

Original title: The Pickwick Papers (English)

by Charles Dickens

Summary

《匹克威克外传》（The Pickwick Papers），狄更斯的代表作品，于1836年出版。全书透过天真善良、不谙世事的匹克威克（Samuel Pickwick）与三位朋友外出旅行途中的一连串遭遇，描写了当时英国的社会生活与风俗民情；本书主人翁匹克威克与骗子金格尔（Alfred Jingle）一次又一次的较量，使得本书具有高度可读性，狄更斯在《匹克威克外传》中充分表达了他的人道主义精神。 一开始这本书并没有引起太多的注意，第一年只销售500册，到了1837年春天，《匹克威克外传》已经成为英国社会争相讨论的话题，医生在看病时读它，法官在开庭时也在读它，病人在病床上也在读它，一时之间社会上出现了“匹克威克热”，英国城市的街头出现各种各样与匹克威克有关的商品，最后此书成为世界文学的经典名作。 本书依原文保留了其时代的种族歧视用语及其他侮辱性词语；《阅读指南》会在这些词语出现之处加以说明。
