The Lazy Tour of Two Idle Apprentices = Ленивое путешествие двух досужих подмастерьев: на англ.яз

Description

In autumn 1857, Charles Dickens embarked on a sightseeing trip to Cumberland with his friend, the rising star of literature Wilkie Collins. Writing together, they reported their adventures for Dickens’ periodical Household Words, producing a showcase of both long-cherished and entirely novel sides of these wellloved men of letters. Through their fi ctional counterparts, the men relentlessly satirize Dickens’ maniacal energy and Collins’ idleness. The result is an exuberant diary of a journey and a rare insight into one of literature’s most famed and intriguing friendships.
