That two of the most popular English writers not only in their time, but throughout the centuries, came together to write this novel is already more than interesting. the sloths narrates the wandering life of two characters who spend the nights of the craziest wayFor example, sleeping with a dead man, or with the madmen in the madhouse, or in the spooky inn The Bridal Chamber.
According to experts, this collaboration with Collins, an impasse in the trajectory of Dickens, supposed a transposition or reflection of the disturbing personal stage that the writer was going through the double life he led between his wife and his lover, the actress Ellen Ternan.
