    About this audiobook

    Charles Dickens is often remembered because of his Christmas Carol. And even though that is a very interesting novel, it wasn’t even his favorite. Some artists and authors claim that a work of art or a novel should be completely separated from the creator. Personally, I completely disagree. I think you can always find traces of psychology in a person’s work that are related to the things they experienced in their personal lives.

    And so, without further ado, I encourage you to pick up this short informational book. It will lay out some of the most important characters from his most famous novels and give you the background you need to understand the motives and creativity behind them. Charles Dickens had a fascinating life, in an entirely different era and age in world history. To understand what and why he wrote what he did, it will be useful to see them in the light of his marriage, his financial hardships, his success, his children, his traumas, and his goals. Become acquainted with this genius writer and his true drive that led him to who he became to be.

      The End Is Just the Beginning

      In publishing, “The End” is just a lie. Once those words appear on the page there is celebrating to be done, for sure, but also an acknowledgment that new work is just beginning. Writers are, generally, not salespeople (although you may be surprised

      The creator must have devoted a lot of time on creating this audiobook. The articulation of the words in this book was fantastic, in addition to all the information contained in it. Based on that, I am actually glad that I bought the book. It was definitely worth my time. I didn't stop listening up until the end. That's how much I liked it. I was glad to hear the correct pronunciation of all the words by a proficient audio book producer.
