“אני אומר בכל הרצינות כי אינני חושב שבכל העולם ישנם אנשים כה משעממים כמו בארצות הברית.”

Victorian English novelist and social critic. His works—including *Oliver Twist*, *Great Expectations*, and *A Christmas Carol*—pioneered serialized fiction and exposed the harsh realities of industrial-era poverty. Known for his vivid characterizations and sharp social commentary, he remains a cornerstone of English literature.
