About this audiobook
Charles Dickens
Charles Dickens (1812-1870) was an English writer and social critic. Regarded as the greatest novelist of the Victorian era, Dickens had a prolific collection of works including fifteen novels, five novellas, and hundreds of short stories and articles. The term “cliffhanger endings” was created because of his practice of ending his serial short stories with drama and suspense. Dickens’ political and social beliefs heavily shaped his literary work. He argued against capitalist beliefs, and advocated for children’s rights, education, and other social reforms. Dickens advocacy for such causes is apparent in his empathetic portrayal of lower classes in his famous works, such as The Christmas Carol and Hard Times.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A dark and tragic tale by a master storyteller.
While short and ending without the resolution of the plight of its characters, it paints a picture in miniature of a remorseless sea and of human nature, frail yet stiff in spirit, forcibly bowed down by circumstance.
A timely tale for those of us in our own longboats cast along a sea of unrelenting and merciless lockdown.
