Dickens World

A theme park that celebrates the life and writings of Charles Dickens has opened in Britain. It`s built on old docks just east of London where Dickens lived for a time as a child.
One of Britain`s greatest writers, Charles Dickens is associated with Victorian London and in particular the misery and poverty (нищета и бедность) of the city. Now Dickens World is opening on an industrial estate in the town of Chatham in Kent where the writer grew up. A theme park is dedicated, so it says, to giving a flavor of life (вкус жизни) in Dickens`s England.
The central boat ride takes visitors through an interactive stage set of picturesque slums (трущобы) and their smells. It provoked a familiar debate of entertainment versus education. The critics say the real Dickens experience is in the books – and trips down fake Victorian sewers (канализация) won`t get people reading. The organisers reply that the writer was a great popular entertainer and could like the idea of such a theme park.
But it is of course a business proposition, investing 120 million dollars, and predicting 300.000 visitors a year. The organisers believe that the name of Dickens and theme park versions of misery and poverty will attract a lot of people to the new park.
