书籍简介

你觉得你已经知道查尔斯·狄更斯的生平了吗？再想想。你所熟悉的几乎所有东西都是在狄更斯的密友约翰·福斯特150年前撰写的一本授权传记中提到的。这是狄更斯自己选择公开的事件版本，新获得的档案显示，它充满了空白、不一致和彻头彻尾的谎言。

狄更斯对妹妹的存在秘而不闻，对犹太亲戚的竭力隐瞒。有抄袭、欺诈和自杀。这还只是开始。

广受好评的《简·奥斯汀：秘密激进分子》的作者海伦娜·凯利重述了狄更斯从童年到临终的故事，揭开了他试图隐藏的真相，并以一种全新的、令人深感不安的视角来看待这位英国著名的小说家之一。你将无法再以同样的方式看待他——或者他的作品。

hink you already know the story of Charles Dickens' life? Think again. Almost everything you're familiar with was first mentioned in an authorised biography written by Dickens' close friend John Forster 150 years ago. It's the version of events that Dickens himself chose to make public, and newly accessible archives reveal that it's crammed with gaps, inconsistencies, and outright lies.

There's the sister whose existence Dickens kept secret and therelations whose faith he strove to conceal. There's plagiarism, fraud, and suicide. And that's only for starters.

Helena Kelly, author of the acclaimed Jane Austen, the Secret Radical, retells Dickens' story from his childhood to his deathbed, uncovers the truths he tried to keep hidden, and offers a fresh - and deeply troubling - perspective on the man who remains one of Britain's best-known novelists. You won't be able to look at him - or his work - in the same way again.
