Dickens is the most well-known and popular novelist in Britain. According to the entry in the Encyclopedia Britannica, his status in British literature is second only to Shakespeare and is known as "the greatest novelist of the Victorian era." Many literary critics regard him as a representative of British critical realist literature in the 19th century. They pay special attention to describing the life experiences of "little people" living at the bottom of British society, but ignore his humorous, satirical and comedic side. His literary style is a collection of reality, fantasy, and fun. He is also a pioneer of serial novels. He can write sunny comedies and depict dark social tragedies at the bottom. Tolstoy, Dostoyev, Lao She, and Mu Xin were all his admirers. Jules Verne, the "father of science fiction," even regarded Dickens as his source of inspiration, because the creativity in Dickens's works was inexhaustible for later generations of writers. After the emergence of film art, it influenced the birth of a large number of popular and serious films including "The Dark Knight Rises" and other films. "The Works of Dickens" is currently the most comprehensive set of Dickens's literary classics on the market. It not only includes his five most famous novels "Oliver Twist", "A Tale of Two Cities", "Great Expectations", "David Copperfield" and "Bleak House", but also includes two travel novels that have been out of print for many years. The collection of travel essays "Notes on a Travel in America" and "Scenery of Italy", two collections of short and medium-length humorous stories "Boz's Close-Ups" and "Selected Short and Medium Stories", as well as a collection of "Christmas Stories" which invented "Christmas", strive to restore to readers a comprehensive and great literary genius Dickens.

Known as "the writer's writer's writer"; winner of the U. S. National Book Award and the Library of Congress American Literature Lifetime Achievement Award; the last novel before his death by the author of "The Son of Jesus", "Train Dreams" and "The Gift of the Sea Nymph"; Dennis Johnson's still poetic but suspenseful spy novel. Lorraine Nair claims to be Nordic, but holds an American passport. After ten years away, he returned to Freetown, Sierra Leone, Africa, and was reunited with his old friend Michael Adrick at the summons. The two had made a fortune during the country's civil war, and now Nair has returned to this "place of despair" with the hope of "second luck." Adrik, a Ugandan, is a combat mercenary trained by the United States. At thirty-six years old, he is still as enthusiastic about his uncertain plans as he was ten years ago. "The end of the plan is amazingly wonderful," he told Nair. Together with Adric's fiancée, a graduate student from Colorado named Davidia, the two embarked on a journey into the Congo mountains that 19th-century missionaries called "the laughing beast." Along the way, they experienced thousands of dangers together, but everyone concealed something from each other. This is a spy novel full of suspense and changing loyalties, mainly set in Sierra Leone, Congo and Uganda, in the period after the Rwanda genocide in the 1990s. The author Dennis Johnson personally witnessed and reported on these conflicts as a journalist.
