Today is the 200th anniversary of the birth of the novelist, journalist and philanthropist Charles Dickens [7.2.1812 - 9.6.1870].

Whilst, sadly, the popular expressions "What the Dickens...?" ["Che diavolo sta succedendo?"] and "It hurts like the Dickens" ["Ho un dolore infernale"] have nothing to do with Dickens [the former is used by Shakespeare], the word "Scrooge" has entered the language to mean a miserly person.
