«El viajero sin propósito» is a collection of travel writings by Charles Dickens, published by Gadir Editorial in paperback (168 pages, in Spanish).
Between 1860 and the end of his life, Dickens published these travel writings in a weekly magazine he had founded, selected here for the first time in Spanish. The author visits docks, suburbs and cities such as London, Paris, and towns in Italy, France and Switzerland, with humour, irony and a social eye. Pieces include «Refrigerio para el viajero», «El cargamento del Gran Tasmania» and «Historias de mi aya», among others.
This edition includes translation and introduction by Pedro Tena, published in 2010 in the Gadir Bolsillo collection.
For readers of travel literature and literary journalism who want to discover a lesser-known side of Charles Dickens as an urban chronicler.
Charles John Huffam Dickens was an English writer and journalist. He created some of literature'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 20th century, critics and scholars had recognised him as a literary genius. His novels and short stories are widely read today.
