One of the shorter Dickens novels is 'A Christmas Carol'. It is a well - known and beloved story that can be easily read in a short time. It tells the story of Ebenezer Scrooge and his transformation through visits from spirits on Christmas Eve.
Hard Times is also relatively shorter among Dickens' novels. It focuses on the fictional industrial town of Coketown and the lives of its inhabitants. Dickens uses this setting to explore the harsh realities of the Industrial Revolution, including the dehumanizing effects of factory work, the divide between the rich and the poor, and the importance of imagination and human connection in a cold, utilitarian world.
Shorter Dickens novels can be more accessible to new readers. Since they don't require as much investment of time, they are a good starting point. Take 'Great Expectations', it has a relatively simple central narrative that is easy to follow at the beginning, which gradually unfolds into a complex exploration of human nature. The language, while still Dickensian, is perhaps less daunting in a shorter work.
"You are gentler than the stars" and "The new god in the chat group" are both short stories with fewer words. They are suitable for your needs ~ I hope you will like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~😗
I recommend "Light, Short, Scattered". This is a short story, half sci-fi, imaginative, and very relaxing. I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~😗
😋I recommend Monster Hunter: The Incompetent Hero. This is a relatively short fantasy-alternative fantasy novel about a hero that everyone looks down on defeating a small monster. During the recommendation period, two chapters would be updated every day. For every 100 recommendation votes or favorites, one chapter would be added. I hope you like this novel.
Well, I would suggest 'And Then There Were None' by Agatha Christie. Although it's not extremely short, it's relatively concise compared to some of her other works and is full of mystery and twists. Also, 'The Woman in White' by Wilkie Collins. It has a great mystery plot and is a classic that can be read in a relatively short time. Oh, and 'The Moonstone' by the same author is also a good choice.
Let me recommend you two classic short novels: 1. The Catcher in the Rye was a modern novel written by the American writer Salinger. It described the growth of a seventeen-year-old boy, Holden Gosfield, as well as his experiences and thoughts during his three days in New York City. This novel was a very representative work of rebellion literature. It was also a classic in the history of American literature. The word count was relatively short, so it was suitable for quick reading. 2. Ye Jiaying: Walden. This was a short story by the American writer Thoreau. It mainly talked about Thoreau's one-year self-exile, as well as his life and thoughts on Walden Lake. Not only was this novel profound, but it could also enlighten people's thoughts on life and self-worth. It was very suitable for readers to relax their bodies and minds during their short reading time. I hope you will like my recommendations. If you need any other recommendations, please continue to ask me, Mwah~
One great shorter crime novel is 'The Postman Always Rings Twice'. It's a classic noir with a tight plot full of suspense and moral ambiguity. The story is about a drifter who gets involved in a dangerous affair with a married woman and the web of crime they spin together.
Sure. 'A Christmas Carol' is a very popular one. It's a heart - warming story about Ebenezer Scrooge's journey of self - discovery and redemption during the Christmas season.
😋I recommend the following two novels to you: 1. [The Sword of the Heavens Comes from the Azure Cloud]: The one holding the sword is not the hand, but the heart! Everything started from the Celestial Eradication! 2. "From the Immortal Slaying to Crossing the Heavens": A person called Zhu Xian, reborn to kill immortals. He did not seek to kill immortals, but to kill ghosts and gods! When he first ascended the Azure Cloud, he awakened his peerless talent in the way of the sword. He resonated with the Immortal Slaying Sword and the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, and he comprehended the Dao in a day. The first world was warm and daily. It was the best time to read in leisure time to kill time and adjust one's mood. The following undetermined worlds were: The Legend of Sword and Fairy III, General Night, Under One Man, Dafeng Watcher, Covering the Sky, etc. I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~😗
