Somebody's Luggage by Charles Dickens, Fiction, Classics, Historical - Tapa dura

Reseña del editor

"My family-name is Blue-Beard! I'm going to open Somebody's Luggage all alone in the Secret Chamber -- and not a female eye catches sight of the contents!"

Such a mystery! On the first day of the year 1857, a man left his inn and requested his luggage be ready when he called for it -- then never called. Nor paid his small bill.

Christopher, a Waiter (one of a large family of Waiters, dignified and dedicated in their trade) is made the offer years later -- won't he pay the small bill? And have the mystery all to himself?

Biografía del autor

Charles John Huffam Dickens (1812 - 1870) was an English writer and social critic. He created some of the world's best-known fictional characters and is regarded by many 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.
