Book Description
Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-Master Humphrey's Clock by Charles Dickens. It was a weekly magazine edited and written entirely by Charles Dickens that was published from April 4, 1840 to December 4, 1841. It began with a framed narration, in which Master Humphrey tells us about himself and his small circle of friends, including Mr. Pickwick, and also reveals his fondness for storytelling. Several short stories were published in this magazine, as well as the novels The Antique Shop and Barnaby Rudge. Dickens is originally believed to have intended the first one to be a short story like the others that had appeared in Master Humphrey's Watch, but after publishing a few chapters, and in the face of declining magazine sales, he decided to extend it. to novel. Master Humphrey appears as a first-person narrator during the first three chapters of The Antique Shop, but then it disappears after alleging: And now that in this story I have gone so far with my own figure and presented these characters to the reader, for the convenience of the narrative I will detach myself from their future plots, and I will leave those who have prominent roles and necessary in them speak and act for themselves .Charles Dickens - Charles John Huffam Dickens FRSA (February 7, 1812 - June 9, 1870)

Book Description
When the Author commenced this Work, he proposed to himself three objects-First. To establish a periodical, which should enable him to present, under one general head, and not as separate and distinct publications, certain fictions that he had it in contemplation to write.Secondly. To produce these Tales in weekly numbers, hoping that to shorten the intervals of communication between himself and his readers, would be to knit more closely the pleasant relations they had held, for Forty Months.Thirdly. In the execution of this weekly task, to have as much regard as its exigencies would permit, to each story as a whole, and to the possibility of its publication at some distant day, apart from the machinery in which it had its origin.The characters of Master Humphrey and his three friends, and the little fancy of the clock, were the results of these considerations. When he sought to interest his readers in those who talked, and read, and listened, he revived Mr. Pickwick and his humble friends; not with any intention of re-opening an exhausted and abandoned mine, but to connect them in the thoughts of those whose favourites they had been, with the tranquil enjoyments of Master Humphrey.It was never the intention of the Author to make the Members of Master Humphrey's clock, active agents in the stories they are supposed to relate. Having brought himself in the commencement of his undertaking to feel an interest in these quiet creatures, and to imagine them in their chamber of meeting, eager listeners to all he had to tell, the Author hoped-as authors will-to succeed in awakening some of his own emotion in the bosoms of his readers. Imagining Master Humphrey in his chimney corner, resuming night after night the narrative, -say, of the Old Curiosity Shop-picturing to himself the various sensations of his hearers-thinking how Jack Redburn might incline to poor Kit, and perhaps lean too favourably even towards the lighter vices of Mr. Richard Swiveller-how the deaf gentleman would have his favourite and Mr. Miles his-and how all these gentle spirits would trace some faint reflexion in their past lives in the varying currents of the tale-he has insensibly fallen into the belief that they are present to his readers as they are to him, and has forgotten that, like one whose vision is disordered, he may be conjuring up bright figures when there is nothing but empty space.The short papers which are to be found at the beginning of the volume were indispensable to the form of publication and the limited extent of each number, as no story of length or interest could be begun until "The Clock was wound up and fairly going."The Author would fain hope that there are not many who would disturb Master Humphrey and his friends in their seclusion; who would have them forego their present enjoyments, to exchange those confidences with each other, the absence of which is the foundation of their mutual trust. For when their occupation is gone, when their tales are ended, and but their personal histories remain, the chimney corner will be growing cold, and the clock will be about to stop for ever.One other word in his own person, and he returns to the more grateful task of speaking for those imaginary people whose little world lies within these pages.
