Sommario/riassunto

Written for publication as a serial, "The Pickwick Papers" is a sequence of loosely-related adventures. The action is given as occurring 1827-28. The novel's main character, Samuel Pickwick, Esquire, is a kind and



wealthy old gentleman, and the founder and perpetual president of the Pickwick Club. To extend his researches into the quaint and curious phenomena of life, he suggests that he and three other "Pickwickians" (Mr Nathaniel Winkle, Mr Augustus Snodgrass, and Mr Tracy Tupman) should make journeys to remote places from London and report on their findings to the other members of the club. Their travels throughout the eng countryside by coach provide the chief theme of the novel. A distinctive and valuable feature of the work is the generally accurate descriptions of the old coaching inns of England...(Excerpt from Wikipedia)
