06 de febrero de 2012, 17:37London, Feb 6 (Prensa Latina) Festivals, tributes and a pilgrimage to his tomb, among other activities, will mark on Tuesday the celebrations in the UK for the bicentennial of the birth of Charles Dickens, one of the greatest writers in English Literature.
Born February 7, 1812 in the coastal city of Portsmouth, southern England, adaptations of his novels to films and theater are true classics of universal literature.
In this regard stands out the most recent film production of Great Expectations, based on one of the most famous novels by Dickens. Starring Ralph Fiennes and Helena Bonham Carter, the film's release is planned for this year.
The ceremony at the grave of Dickens in Westminster Abbey, London, will be attended by Prince Charles, heir to the British Crown, and the popular actor Ralph Fiennes, nominated twice for an Oscar for his starring roles in the Schindlerâ�Ös list (1993) and The English Patient (1996).
To Claire Tomalin, one of the biographers of the famous English writer, no one has been able to overcome the extraordinary energy and tireless work ethic of this master of the narrative genre. |
