Böcker av Charles Dickens

Great Expectations will form the centrepiece of the Dickens season this Christmas.Part thriller, part mystery, with a powerful love story at its heart, Sarah Phelps's (Oliver Twist, EastEnders) three-part adaptation embraces all of these qualities, delivering a vibrant, visceral, story. The stellar cast includes Gillian Anderson, David Suchet and Ray Winstone, and it will be broadcast on BBC1 in a prime-time slot in December this year.

Charles Dickens died half way through writing The Mystery of Edwin Drood, and ever since speculation has been rife as to how the tale might have unfolded. For this intriguing two-part adaptation for BBC2, for prime-time January 2012, acclaimed screenwriter Gwyneth Hughes (Five Days, Miss Austen Regrets) scoured the text for clues indicating how the great author might have finished this masterpiece, and has drawn from those leads a seamless, compelling and surprisingly modern story of obsessive love, betrayal and murder. This tie-in edition of Dickens's unfinished text will also include an Afterword by Gwyneth Hughes, offering her own conclusion, and revealing how she knitted the strands from the original plot and her own work together to bring the book to a satisfying close.Key cast list: Matthew Rhys (Brothers & Sisters) as John Jasper; Rory Kinnear (Hamlet, Women In Love, Lennon Naked) as Reverend Septimus Crisparkle; Freddie Fox (Worried About The Boy, The Shadow Line) as Edwin Drood; Tamzin Merchant (Jane Eyre, Miranda, The Tudors) plays Rosa Bud; Alun Armstrong (New Tricks, Garrow's Law) as Hiram Grewgious, Rosa's guardian; Julia McKenzie (Cranford, Miss Marple) plays the Reverend's mother, Mrs Crisparkle; David Dawson (Luther, The Road To Coronation Street) as Bazzard; Ron Cook (Little Dorrit) as Durdles; Sacha Dhawan (Five Days 2) as Neville Landless; Amber Rose Revah (House Of Saddam) plays Helena Landless, Neville's twin sister; Ian McNeice (Doctor Who) as Mayor Sapsea; Janet Dale (Holby; Casualty) as Miss Twinkleton; Ellie Haddington (Luther) as Princess Puffer; and young Alfie Davis plays Deputy.

Denna komiska berättelse om ett gäng äldre herrars äventyr på den engelska landsbygden på 1820-talet blev en exempellös framgång när den först utkom i följetongsform åren 1836-37. Boken gjorde Charles Dickens genast ett namn i hela den engelskspråkiga världen. Med den fryntlige herr Pickwick som mittpunkt råkar de ständigt i dråpliga situationer var de än hamnar men räddas gång efter annan av sin betjänt, den påhittiga och kvicktänkta Sam Weller. Läsaren får bekanta sig med ett oräkneligt antal färgstarka personer tecknade med ohejdbar berättarglädje och livfull satir, inte sällan med aristokratins företrädare i skottgluggen. Här får vi också inblick i de säregna miljöerna kring de slags resehotell som låg längs de engelska landsvägarna. Innehåller både del 1 och 2. I originalöversättning av Carl Johan BackmanCharles Dickens (1812-1870) var kanske den mest framgångsrika och älskade brittiska författaren under 1800-talet, en popularitet som fortsatt i våra dagar. Han förenar oförglömliga personporträtt och en känsla för medryckande berättelser med en blick för samhällets utsatta existenser.
