Finn, your Starvard guide

Hola, me llamo Finn y voy a ayudarte a entender este libro.

Aquí está, explicado como si tuvieras 10 años:

Nadie conoció a Dickens mejor que John Forster. Se conocieron de jóvenes, y durante más de treinta años Dickens le contó todo, le mostró cada plan y le confió los secretos, incluida la infancia en la fábrica de betún que ocultó al mundo. Después de la muerte de Dickens en 1870, Forster escribió esta gran biografía desde las cartas y su propia memoria. Es larga, afectuosa e irreemplazable.
