Charles Dicken at 200




When I was in New York I went, with my family, to the "Morgan Library & Museum" to see the exhibiton of Charles Dickens "Charles Dickens at 200".
The Morgan Library & Museum's collection of Dickens manuscripts and letters is the largest in the United States and is one of the two greatest collections in the world.
Charles Dickens at 200 celebrates the bicentennial of the great writer's birth in 1812 with manuscripts of his novels and stories, letters, books, photographs, original illustrations, and caricatures. The letters where very interesting. I enjoy reading his book a lot because his way of writing, so many adjectives and all the details, is so lovely it makes you want to keep on reading forever.
The tiny illustrations were so nice, I bought a post-card with the illustration of "Scrooge's Thrid Visitor" from the book a Chritmas Carol. Then there was the story about his life. He was a very generous man and he helped lots of people in need.
The exhibition was very interesting and the "Pierpont Morgan Museum & Library" was very beautiful and modern and classic at the same time.

Until next post,
M&M
