Slavný humoristický román z pera jednoho z největších anglických romanopisců všech dob. Románovou kroniku tvoří 'pozůstalé zápisy' členů Dopisující společnosti Pickwickova klubu. Coby všestranné dopisovatele je Dickens posílá na cestu a proniká s nimi do nejrůznějších vrstev společnosti. Jako bystrý pozorovatel a mistr realistického zachycení charakterů a scén líčí zákulisní praktiky jistých místních voleb, žurnalistické bojůvky mezi představiteli dvou soupeřících politických stran, nekalé advokátské a soudcovské postupy, snobismus lázeňské společnosti a další stránky veřejného života, které neztratily nic ze své aktuálnosti. Největší proslulosti román dosáhl díky ústřední dvojici - idealistickému a dobráckému panu Pickwickovi a jeho praktickému protějšku a oddanému sluhovi Samu Wellerovi -, která v mnohém připomíná jejich nesmrtelný předobraz v postavách Dona Quijota a Sancha Panzy.
