The Dickens Hero lives next door
Dickens hero lived next to us.What an interesting fact.I am sure some of you will be interested how I discovered him.It was raining.I was watching with pleasure fragile and speedy drops of the rain.Suddenly an old man rushed out from the entrance of the house with some books in his hands.
In the morning i decided to go to the library to find any book by Dickens.While looking for Dickens' books i noticed an interesting book titled "Life out of Luck" by Edwin Walter.Taking Dickens' biography and Walter's book i approached the librarian.Looking up i recognized yesterday's mysterious man.For a minute he seemed to me very strange because he was examining Walter's book very attentively.
_Is everything ok, Sir.
_Yes sure very unexpected and unusal choice.
_Thanks,sorry how shall i call you?
_Edwin Walter.
_Really?I hope i am not mistaken you are the author of the book i have chosen.
_Surprisingly but it is true.
_But how can the librarian be an author of the book.
_Why,you think bagger can not be human?
Of course i read his book just in the evening and then Charels Dickens biography.Walter's book consisted of difficult and deep parts of his own life and how i understood only great talent of writting made his life less tragical.
Reading two books i tried to compare them and i realized that they have much in common.In the morning when i was thinking about my impressions of the books i suddenly remembered last sentence of Walter's book "I am wayfarer in this uncertain world,unfortunally i could not find myself in it.
I run outside and at the other end of the street i saw Mr. Walter with a bag.I shouted for him and asked to wait.Finally i reached him.
_Mr. Walter please don't say you are leaving.
_Why my dear i dont think that my story interests you anymore.
_Mr. Walter don't say so,please take this book,this as the biography of a great writer Charels Dickens.His biography is like yours.
_No my dear,i am as far from him as the sea from desert.
_No,i am sure that you have much in common,but if you don't have you are the most successful among his heros.Please dont leave!
_No my dear i have to go "eternal travelers can not have harbor".I will always write to you about the future life of this crazy and mad gaffer.
_Don't forget me Mr. Walter remember always that on the other side of the world there is a person who is proud of you and she is impatiently waiting for the continuation of the story about the life of her favourite hero.
_Certainly dear,i will write.
Here's how i got acquainted and how i said goodbye to my most favourite hero of Dicken's,whose mysterious and kind personality will stay with me forever.
