The Uncommercial Traveller

Více o knize

The Uncommercial Traveller is a collection of literary sketches and reminiscences by Charles Dickens. He chose the title and persona of the Uncommercial Traveller as a result of a speech he gave to the Commercial Travellers' School. The persona sits well with a writer who liked to travel, not only as a tourist, but also to research and report what he found; visiting Europe, America. Dickens often suffered from insomnia and his night-time wanderings gave him an insight into some of the hidden aspects of Victorian London.
