Synopsis "Sketches of Young Couples"

"Sketches of Young Couples" is a collection of short stories written by Charles Dickens, first published in 1840. As the title suggests, the book provides humorous and satirical sketches depicting various types of young couples and their relationships, reflecting the social norms and behaviors of Victorian society.In typical Dickensian fashion, the stories are rich in character, wit, and observational detail. Dickens portrays a wide range of couples, each with their own quirks, foibles, and dynamics. From the newlyweds grappling with the challenges of domestic life to the mismatched pairs navigating the complexities of courtship, the sketches offer a humorous and often insightful commentary on the intricacies of romantic relationships.Throughout the book, Dickens employs his sharp wit and keen eye for social satire to lampoon the conventions and stereotypes associated with young couples of his time. He pokes fun at the pretensions of the upper classes, the absurdities of courtship rituals, and the tensions that arise within marital relationships.While the tone of the stories is largely comic, Dickens also infuses them with moments of poignancy and pathos, highlighting the universal truths and human emotions that underlie the absurdities of everyday life."Sketches of Young Couples" showcases Dickens's mastery of characterization and his ability to capture the nuances of human behavior with warmth and humor. It remains a beloved classic of Victorian literature, offering readers both entertainment and insight into the timeless complexities of love and marriage.

Charles Dickens (1812-1870) nació en Portsmouth y era el primogénito varón de un funcionario de la Armada Real. A los doce años, el encarcelamiento de su padre por deudas lo obligó a ponerse a trabajar en una fábrica de betún. Su educación fue irregular: aprendió por su cuenta taquigrafía, trabajó como ayudante en el bufete de un abogado y finalmente fue corresponsal parlamentario del Morning Chronicle. Sus artículos, luego recogidos en Escenas de la vida de Londres por «Boz» (1836-1837), tuvieron gran éxito y, con la aparición en 1837 de Los papeles póstumos del Club Pickwick, Dickens se convirtió en un auténtico fenómeno editorial. Novelas como Oliver Twist (1837-1839), Nicholas Nickleby (1838-1839) o Barnaby Rudge (1841) alcanzaron enorme popularidad, así como algunas crónicas de viajes, como Estampas de Italia (1846). Con Dombey e hijo (1846-1848) inició su época de madurez, de la que son buenos ejemplos David Copperfield (1849-1850), su primera novela en primera persona y su favorita, en la que desarrolló algunos episodios autobiográficos; La Casa lúgubre (1852-1853); La pequeña Dorrit (1855-1857), Historia de dos ciudades (1859), Grandes esperanzas (1860-1861) y Nuestro amigo común (1864-1865). Murió en Gad's Hill, su casa de campo en Higham, en el condado de Kent.
