A House to Let

Autor Wilkie Collins, Charles Dickens, Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell
en Limba Engleză Paperback
This story is a novella that was initially published in the Christmas edition of Household Words magazine of 1958. This is a collection of several stories from various authors who are each assigned a chapter of their own. These collections of short stories were then edited by Charles Dickens and published in his magazine. Each chapter uses their own distinct methods of storytelling and it gives the audiobook that much needed diversity as a story that is told from several point of views. The main plot of the novella centers on Sophonisba, an old woman who lives opposite the House of Let. The House of Let is an old house that has been abandoned for years. One day, she saw signs of life within the House of Let. Curious as to whom or what may have caused this, she asked Jabez Jarber, an elderly admirer of her as well as her servant, Trottle to find out what exactly is happening inside the House of Let. The story would then move on from one character to another as the mystery behind the dilapidated old house unravels and all question are answered. The House of Let is an interesting listen for its story construction as well as the narrator. Ruth Golding knows what and when to do changes in her voice work to enhance the atmosphere of the story. A House of Let is a seriously underrated novella that captures the mystery and humor of a fabulous story of bygone days.

Notă biografică

Charles John Huffam Dickens (7 February 1812 - 9 June 1870) was an English writer and social critic. He created some of the world's best-known fictional characters and is regarded as the greatest novelist of the Victorian era. His works enjoyed unprecedented popularity during his lifetime, and by the twentieth century critics and scholars had recognised him as a literary genius. His novels and short stories enjoy lasting popularity. Born in Portsmouth, Dickens left school to work in a factory when his father was incarcerated in a debtors' prison. Despite his lack of formal education, he edited a weekly journal for 20 years, wrote 15 novels, five novellas, hundreds of short stories and non-fiction articles, lectured and performed extensively, was an indefatigable letter writer, and campaigned vigorously for children's rights, education, and other social reforms. Dickens was regarded as the literary colossus of his age. His 1843 novella, A Christmas Carol, remains popular and continues to inspire adaptations in every artistic genre. Oliver Twist and Great Expectations are also frequently adapted, and, like many of his novels, evoke images of early Victorian London. His 1859 novel, A Tale of Two Cities, set in London and Paris, is his best-known work of historical fiction.
