Kotisirkka

Charles Dickensin Kotisirkka on humaani tarina rakkaudesta ja luottamuksesta. Yhdeksi Dickensin joulusaduista kirjoitetussa pienoisromaanissa tavataan kolme parivaljakkoa: ajuri John Peerybingle (suomennoksessa Juho) ja hänen nuori vaimonsa Dot (Pirkko), äksy lelukauppias Tackleton morsiamineen sekä köyhä Kaleb ja tämän sokea tytär Bertha. Hahmoja ja heidän mutkikkaista suhteistaan kumpuavia värikkäitä tapahtumia kuvataan tarkkanäköisesti, mutta lämmöllä ja huumorilla – ja tarinaa tarkkailee lukijan rinnalla lieden kupeessa sirittävä kotisirkka.

Charles Dickens (1812–1870) oli englantilainen romaanikirjailija, joka tunnetaan muun muassa teoksista Pickwick-kerhon jälkeenjääneet paperit, David Copperfield ja Kolea talo. Dickensin teoksissa on hersyvää huumoria, satiiria ja yhteiskuntakiritiikkiä, mutta kuitenkin niissä katsotaan ihmisiä ennen kaikkea lempeästi ja myötätuntoisesti. Dickensillä oli taito luoda ikimuistettavia, rakastettavan karikatyyrimäisiä henkilöhahmoja, jotka jäävät elämään lukijan mielessä.
