Жизнь и приключения Николаса Никльби. Т. 2

Roman Charlʹza Dikkensa o blagorodnom, no bednom i͡unoshe Nikolase Niklʹbi nachal sozdavatʹsi͡a avtorom vo vremi͡a raboty nad drugim proizvedeniem - "Oliver Tvist". Neudivitelʹno, chto ėti romany imei͡ut mnogo obshchego: Nikolas podobno Oliveru vynuzhden uvidetʹ neprigli͡adnui͡u iznanku zhizni, odnako s chestʹi͡u preodolevaet vse trudnosti, ostavai͡asʹ takim zhe dobrym i chestnym. Roman ob Olivere Tviste mnogie t͡seni͡at za ostrui͡u sot͡sialʹnui͡u satiru, no i v istorii o Nikolase Niklʹbi my vidim i͡arkie portrety raznykh predstaviteleĭ britanskogo obshchestva, chto dalo povod nekotorym kritikam utverzhdatʹ, budto vtorostepennye personazhi "Nikolasa Niklʹbi" gorazdo interesnee glavnykh. Estʹ li v ėtom doli͡a istiny - suditʹ chitateli͡am, odnako odin iz personazheĭ - Skvirs - i vpri͡amʹ zapominaetsi͡a, a ego familii͡a stala dli͡a anglichan narit͡satelʹnym oboznacheniem nedostoĭnogo shkolʹnogo uchiteli͡a.

Charles Dickens' novel about the noble but poor young man Nicholas Nickleby began to be created by the author while working on another work - "Oliver Twist". It is not surprising that these novels have a lot in common: Nicholas, like Oliver, is forced to see the unsightly underside of life, but he overcomes all difficulties with honor, remaining the same kind and honest. The novel about Oliver Twist is appreciated by many for its sharp social satire, but in the story about Nicholas Nickleby we see vivid portraits of various representatives of British society, which gave rise to some critics to claim that the minor characters of Nicholas Nickleby are much more interesting than the main ones. Whether there is any truth in this is for readers to judge, however, one of the characters — Squeers - is really remembered, and his surname has become a household name for the English for an unworthy school teacher.
