今天是英國(guó)著名作家查爾斯·狄更斯200周年誕辰，Google首頁(yè)也用了一組人物素描來(lái)紀(jì)念這位著名的英國(guó)小說(shuō)家。你可能讀過(guò)他的代表作品《雙城記》，你可能看過(guò)他的作品《霧都孤兒》改編的電影，你可能還聽說(shuō)過(guò)他的《大衛(wèi)·科波菲爾》《遠(yuǎn)大前程》、《小杜麗》等。查爾斯·狄更斯是一個(gè)很特別的作家，他用自己的親身成長(zhǎng)經(jīng)歷為藍(lán)本，描述了在19世紀(jì)英國(guó)的大背景下，小人物的生存和掙扎的心酸歷史，用細(xì)膩的筆觸為我們奉獻(xiàn)了一部部精彩的作品。
