nové vydání klasické anglické četby 'What dark history is this?'
This is the question that
hangs over Dickens's brooding novel of mayhem and murder in the
eighteenth century. Set in London at the time of the anti-Catholic
Gordon Riots, Barnaby Rudge tells a story of individuals caught
up in the mindless violence of the mob. Lord George Gordon's dangerous
appeal to old religious prejudices is interwoven with the murder
mystery surrounding the father of the simple-minded Barnaby. The
discovery of the murderer and his involvement in the riots put
Barnaby's life in jeopardy. Culminating in the terrifying destruction
of Newgate prison by the rampaging hordes, the descriptions of the
riots are among Dickens's most powerful.
Written at a time of
social unrest in Victorian Britain, Barnaby Rudge
explores the relationship between repression and liberation in private
and public life. It looks forward to the dark complexities of Dickens's
later novels, whose characters also seek refuge from a chaotic and
unstable world.
