我不能说她（奥斯丁）是英国出色的小说家，这桂冠只属于狄更斯……——﹝英国﹞威廉•萨默塞特•毛姆

《匹克威克外传》是狄更斯的长篇小说处女作，也是他的成名作。这部既富于浪漫奇想又紧贴社会现实的幽默与讽刺小说，主要讲述的是天真善良、不谙世事的有产者匹克威克带领其信徒们在英国各地漫游的奇趣经历与所见所闻。其中匹克威克先生的仆人山姆幽默机智，在小说中占据了突出地位。全书情节分为两条主线：一是匹克威克与骗子金格尔的一次又一次较量；二是巴德尔太太诉匹克威克毁弃婚约的诉讼。在这两条相互交织的主线之外，匹克威克信徒们的故事以及旅途听到的故事（故事中的故事）则构成一条条副线。《匹克威克外传》历来被视为英国流浪汉小说的代表作。

A rich and varied array of stories and vignettes, The Pickwick Papers is based around the investigations of the Corresponding Society of the Pickwick Club, consisting of its founder Mr Samuel Pickwick and Messrs Tracy Tupman, Augustus Snodgrass and Nathaniel Winkle, who travel around the country and then report back to the club concerning their extraordinary adventures and experiences.

Dickens’s first novel, The Pickwick Papers was an immediate success and caught the public imagination in a manner that few debuts have ever matched. Replete with colourful characters, fantastical anecdotes and a farcical plot, it catapulted its twenty-four-year-old author to literary stardom, and is widely considered to be one of the great comic masterpieces of nineteenth-century literature.

作者简介

狄更斯，19世纪英国批判现实主义小说家。狄更斯特别注意描写生活在英国社会底层的“小人物”的生活遭遇，深刻地反映了当时英国复杂的社会现实，为英国批判现实主义文学的开拓和发展做出了卓越的贡献。他的作品至今依然盛行，对英国文学发展起到了深远的影响。主要作品《匹克威克外传》、《雾都孤儿》、《老古玩店》、《艰难时世》、《我们共同的朋友》。

A literary phenomenon in his lifetime and renowned as much for his journalism and public speaking as for his novels, Charles Dickens (1812–70) now ranks as the most important Victorian writer and one of the most influential and popular authors in the English language. His memorable and vividly rendered characters and his combination of humour, trenchant satire and compassion have left an indelible mark on our collective imagination.
