Hello everyone and hope you’ve all had a great day - it’s Boxing Day here in the UK 🇬🇧 and it’s been lovely seeing family and eating waaaaay too much 😋 I got some wonderful books for Christmas too which I’ll share with you probably sometime next year the way these hauls are going!! These are three beautiful new classics to add to my Penguin clothbound classics collection. The two Charles Dickens were sent to me as a wonderful bookish surprise from my bookstagram friend @readingpenguin14 when I was feeling low recently. I’ve already thanked him but wanted to say again how much I appreciated it. Bleak House is described as a savage but often comic indictment of a society that is often rotten to the core and is one of Dickens’ most ambitious novels, with a range that extends from the drawing rooms of the aristocracy to the poorest of London slums. David Copperfield is a story of a young man’s adventures on his journey from an unhappy and impoverished childhood to the discovery of his vocation as a successful novelist. In the novel he described as his “favourite child,” Dickens drew revealingly on his own experiences to create one of the most exuberant and enduringly popular works, filled with tragedy and comedy in equal measure. Finally we have The Count Of Monte Cristo, a novel I’ve been reading for the first time for a while now and I am absolutely obsessed with it. I’m on track to finish it by the end of the year and it’s one of my favourite books ever. 😍 I’d love to know your thoughts on any of these books or authors. Are you a fan of the classics? Let’s have a chat in the comments and have a lovely week everyone! 🤗😘 #bookstagramuk #scottishbookstagrammer #penguinclothboundclassics #clothboundclassicscollection #classicbookslover #bleakhouse #davidcopperfield #charlesdickensbooks #thecountofmontecristo #alexandredumas #booksnewtome #prettybooksofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CmpFct9L9ta/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

El amor secreto de Charles Dickens: El célebre autor de obras maestras como Oliver Twist, David Copperfield y Cuento de Navidad, tuvo una vida personal llena de misterios y contradicciones. Uno de ellos fue su romance clandestino con una joven actriz llamada Ellen Ternan, que duró más de una década y que fue ocultado al público hasta después de su muerte.
Dickens conoció a Ellen en 1857, cuando la eligió a ella y a su familia para actuar en una obra de teatro que él había escrito junto con Wilkie Collins, llamada The Frozen Deep (El abismo helado), y que se estrenó en el Teatro Free Trade Hall de Manchester el 21 de enero de 1857. Ellen tenía 19 años (no 18, como se suele decir) y Dickens 45. Se sintieron atraídos el uno por el otro y comenzaron una relación que los llevó a vivir una doble vida.
Dickens estaba casado con Catherine Hogarth, con quien tuvo 10 hijos, pero se separó de ella en mayo de 1858, tras hacer públicos detalles sobre su fracaso matrimonial. Acusó a Catherine de ser una mala madre y una esposa indiferente, y le prohibió ver a sus hijos, excepto al menor, Charles Jr., que se quedaría con su padre. También le entregó una cláusula de separación firmada por ambos, en la que se establecía que Catherine recibiría una pensión anual de 600 libras. Sin embargo, nunca se divorció de ella, ya que eso hubiera supuesto un escándalo social y una pérdida de prestigio.
Ellen, por su parte, era una actriz de teatro que provenía de una familia humilde y que aspiraba a tener una carrera profesional. Sin embargo, su relación con Dickens le impidió seguir actuando, ya que él quería mantenerla alejada de los escenarios y de la mirada pública. Ellen se convirtió en la amante secreta de Dickens, que le proporcionaba una vida cómoda, pero también solitaria y aislada.
Dickens y Ellen se comunicaban por cartas, se veían en casas alquiladas o en viajes al extranjero, y usaban nombres falsos para evitar ser descubiertos. No se sabe con certeza si tuvieron hijos, pero hay algunas evidencias que sugieren que Ellen quedó embarazada al menos una vez y que perdió al bebé en un accidente de tren en 1865, en el que Dickens también estuvo involucrado.
Dickens le dedicó algunos de sus libros, como Grandes esperanzas y Nuestro común amigo, en los que se pueden encontrar referencias a Ellen o a su situación. También le regaló joyas, libros y ropa, y le dejó una pensión en su testamento. Su romance duró hasta la muerte de Dickens en 1870.
Después, Ellen se casó con un profesor llamado George Wharton Robinson y cambió su nombre por el de Nelly Robinson. Mantuvo en secreto su pasado con Dickens hasta el final de sus días. Su historia solo se conoció años después, gracias a las investigaciones de biógrafos y periodistas, que revelaron la verdad sobre el amor secreto de Charles Dickens.

23rd or 24th February 1807, triple execution of John Holloway, Owen Haggerty, and Elizabeth Godfrey. John Holloway and Owen Haggerty had been sentenced for the murder on November 6th, 1802 of the merchant John Cole Steele, while Elizabeth Godfrey had been sentanced for the murder of her her neighbor Richard Prince on December 25th 1806 by stabbing him just below the eye with a pocket knife. Despite frequent executions and their subsequent public spectacle, three executions on the same day was rare, and the crowd of around 40,000 gathered outside of the Newgate Gallows bore witness to this rare spectacle. Holloway upon mounting the scaffold called out to the crowd, ‘Innocent! Innocent, Gentlemen! No verdict! Innocent, by God!’.What happened next is mostly historical speculation, but one theory is that a section of the crowd eager to hear and see what would happen next climbed upon a cart, where the wheel broke sending people to the ground, wherein the crowd surged forward, causing a panic be seeing those being crushed at the front. Thirty-one people were killed and 40 to 50 were injured in the rush. After the executions a lawyer named James Harmer who inspired Charles Dickens in Great Expectations, wrote a pamphlet proclaimed that John Holloway, and Owen Haggerty had been innocent. Thirteen years later a John Ward was accused of the murder of John Cole Steele, but acquitted for lack of evidence.

De poll is geëindigd en er is uit gekomen dat we Charles Dickens Oliver Twist gaan lezen met #samenlezenwe Charles Dickens - Oliver Twist @charlesdickensbooks #charlesdickens Zin om mee te lezen of te praten met deze of een ander fantasyboek? Stuur een DM. @inge1970reads of @inget1970 of @by_c_lifestyleblogger #samenlezenweklassiekers Wie heeft dit boek al gelezen? Wat vond je er van? ............ Inhoud: Het boek werd gepubliceerd in 1838 en was vooral bedoeld als protest van Dickens tegen de wantoestanden in de victoriaanse samenleving. Kinderarbeid in de armenhuizen en de onderwereld waarin straatkinderen tot crimineel worden opgeleid spelen in het boek een grote rol. De hoofdpersoon, Oliver Twist, is een weesjongen door wiens ogen we het harde leven in Londen rond 1830 bekijken. De hoofdfiguur, Oliver Twist, wordt geboren in diepe armoede. Zijn moeder sterft kort na zijn geboorte en zijn vader is onbekend. Oliver belandt na acht jaar in een weeshuis te hebben gezeten in een zogenaamd armhuis. In het huis heerst een streng regime en men krijgt weinig te eten. Wanneer Oliver op een dag extra voedsel vraagt, wordt hij voor straf uit het werkhuis geplaatst en aangeboden als knecht bij een schoorsteenveger, maar komt uiteindelijk bij een begrafenisondernemer terecht. Die behandelt de jongen relatief goed, maar kan hem niet houden als hulpje omdat zijn vrouw, met wie hij in scheiding ligt, Oliver niet mag. Bovendien wordt Oliver het doelwit van pesterijen door de andere helper van Mr. Sowerberry, Noah Claypole. Op een dag gaat deze zover, dat Oliver zich niet meer kan beheersen en hem te lijf gaat. Mrs. Sowerberry kiest de kant van Noah en straft Oliver, die 's nachts besluit om weg te lopen. Na wat omzwervingen belandt hij in Londen. Daar ontmoet Oliver de jonge zakkenroller Jack Dawkins, die in de onderwereld van Londen beter bekend is als Artful Dodger. ............ #instabook #bookstagrammer #bookstagram #bookstagramnl #bookstagrammers #instaboek #boekstagram #boekenwurm #booktrovert #dutchbookstagram #dutchbookstagrammers #dutchbookstagrammer #lezenisleuk #bookmail #classics #klassiek #classicliterature https://www.instagram.com/p/CnP8RQ6LBXZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
