书籍简介

《尼古拉斯·尼克尔贝的生活和冒险》是查尔斯·狄更斯新版牛津版的第二卷，也是狄更斯的第三部小说，初于 1838 年 3 月至 1839 年 9 月期间分月出版。这部小说幽默风趣，很快就发展出强烈的社会批判性，探讨了爱情和家庭、自私、工作和慈善等主题。小说展现了众多人物，从真诚而热情的年轻英雄尼古拉斯、可悲的斯麦克和残忍的校长瓦克福德·斯奎尔斯，到约翰·布罗迪、斯奎尔斯夫人、曼塔里尼先生、克鲁姆尔斯先生和令人恼火的无能的尼克尔贝夫人等耀眼的小角色。这部小说巩固了狄更斯凭借《匹克威克外传》和《雾都孤儿》建立的喜剧和悲情声誉，触及并取悦了狄更斯迄今为止广泛的读者群。

The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby, the second volume of the new Oxford Edition of Charles Dickens, is Dickens's third novel, originally published in monthly parts between March 1838 and September 1839. Brilliantly comic, the novel quickly developed a strong strand of social criticism, exploring themes such as love and family, selfishness, work, and charity. It showcases a host of characters, from the earnest and passionate young hero Nicholas, the pathetic Smike, and the brutal schoolmaster Wackford Squeers, to sparkling minor players like John Browdie, Mrs. Squeers, Mr. Mantalini, Mr. Crummles, and the infuriatingly inept Mrs. Nickleby. Solidifying the reputation for comedy and pathos Dickens had established with The Pickwick Papers and Oliver Twist, this novel reached―and delighted―the widest audience Dickens had yet known.

The manuscript of Nicholas Nickleby survives only in fragments, with the British Library, the Charles Dickens Museum, and The Rosenbach library holding substantial portions, and the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Free Library of Philadelphia, and the Morgan Library also holding pages. This edition is presented in two volumes: the text in Volume I and Essay on the Text and Notes in Volume 2. The editors have closely examined all the surviving manuscript, recovering scores of deletions and recording all variants of wording in the textual apparatus. The text is based on that of the original serial instalments; all emendations from that text are fully documented. All lifetime British editions (the Cheap, the Library, the Illustrated Library, the People's and the Charles Dickens) have been carefully collated, and all verbal variants are recorded.
