Tóm tắt tác phẩm
The Lazy Tour of Two Idle Apprentices was co-written by Charles Dickens and Wilkie Collins and features two characters (Mr. Goodchild and Mr. Idle) that are stand-ins for these two. It is told over the course of what was originally five issues of Dickens' journal Household Words and depicts an "idle" (but actually quite frantic) vacation, with long walks/hikes and explorations of inns and other places. In the course, it also includes two long standalone stories-both gothic ghost stories, one that appears to be primarily by Collins and one that appears to be primarily by Dickens.
The book as a whole is certainly a minor work. It has lots of moments of humor and is rarely dull, but at its best still falls short of just about the worst of any Dickens novel. The two largely standalone stories that are told in the course of it are fun, perhaps the most enjoyable part of the book. In general, mostly worth reading for the completist but a lot more that is worth getting to before this.
