Hi @godflesh This is a wonderful post!!

In considering why Dickens’s stories are of interest in the modern world, we can point to his rich array of characters and situations. We can make parallels between the episodic and dramatic nature of his novels and the current popularity of TV serials that share this approach. Or we can reflect on Dickens as a commentator on issues that are still relevant today.

Charles Dickens was indeed a master storyteller, and his stories still speak forcefully to us today.

Also, Charles Dickens did not only build a life from becoming a literary legend, an outspoken advocate against social inequality and an everyday expression but he was an early pioneer in many arenas. Dickens created a shelter and academy for women who were seeking refuge from prostitution and is credited with potentially saving the lives of a group of friends after a train crash.

Have a nice night.
I wish you good health, happiness and prosperity.
A hug
