My favourite writer.
My name is John, I am thirteen years old. I iive in England, in Nottingham. I am fond of reading English literature. We've got a big home library. My favourite writer is Charles Dickens. He was born in 1812 and lived till 1 870. He is one of England's greatest writers. At a young age Dickens was forced to work in a factory under terrible conditions. The boy's childhood was very hard and sad. Then Dickens worked as a reporter in law courts and later for London newspapers. In 1837 he published his comic novel "The Pickwick Papers" which made him popular. A long line of successful novels followed: "Oliver Twist" (1837), "A Christmas Carol" (1843), "A Tale of Two Cities" (1859) and "Great Expectations" (1861). Dickens saw all the social evils of the English society and they worried him greatly. I'd like to point to the most favourite books of mine written by this famous writer. The first one is a novel "David Copperfield" which he wrote in 1849 - 1850. This novel is partly based on Dickens's early life and his struggle to become a writer. The characters in the book were actual people Dickens knew while many adventures of the hero, David Copperfield, were part of his own experience as a young boy. Another novel which is worth reading is "A Christmas Carol". It's a wonderful story written by Dickens more than a century and a half ago. The writer wanted to show that love, care and patience: were much, stronger that greediness, anger and hatred. People of all generations and of all times should remember about it.

In 1851 Charles moved to Oxford and entered one of the best and aristocratic colleges there - Christ Church. After graduation he read lections on Mathematics at the same college for 26 years. It was his main income. He also became a deacon here and had the right to preach without work in the parish. His literature career began while he was still in college. He wrote short stories and poems, which he sent to various magazines. At that time he took the pseudonym “Lewis Carrol” on the advice of one editor. His works gradually gained popularity. By 1854, all serious English publishing houses were accepting them. While working at college, he met the new dean Henry Lidell and his family. The dean had three daughters: Alice, Edith and Lorina.
перевод
Льюис Кэррол (настоящее имя Чарльз Лютвидж Доджсон ) был замечательным английским писателем, математиком, философом и диаконом. Одна из его жизненных страстей включала фотографию. Его самые известные произведения - сказка «Приключения Алисы в Стране Чудес». Писатель родился 27 января 1832 года в Дарсбери, Чешир. Его отец был приходским священником. У Чарльза было семь сестер и трое братьев. С самого детства он казался умным и сообразительным мальчиком. Когда ему было двенадцать, его отправили в частную школу недалеко от Ричмонда. В 1845 году ему пришлось переехать в другую школу, которой он не очень понравился.
В 1851 году Чарльз переехал в Оксфорд и вошел в один из лучших и аристократических колледжей там - церковь Христа. После окончания школы он читал лекции по математике в том же колледже в течение 26 лет. Это был его главный доход. Он также стал дьяконом здесь и имел право проповедовать без работы в приходе. Его литературная карьера началась, пока он еще учился в колледже. Он писал короткие рассказы и стихи, которые он отправлял в различные журналы. В то время он взял псевдоним «Льюис Кэррол» по совету одного редактора. Его работы постепенно завоевали популярность. К 1854 году все серьезные английские издательства приняли их. Во время работы в колледже он познакомился с новым деканом Генри Лиделлом и его семьей. У декана было три дочери: Алиса, Эдит и Лорина.
