Night Walks

Charles Dickens

About the book

Charles Dickens describes his time as an insomniac, when he decided to cure himself by walking through London in the small hours, and discovered homelessness, drunkenness and vice on the streets. This collection of essays shows Dickens as one of the greatest visionaries of the city in all its variety and cruelty.

Night Walks is the perfect example of how artists think, humble, looking at trivial questions, paying attention to the often invisible.
