deseo que mi país me recuerde por mis obras publicadas
Charles Dickens stipulated that when he died there should be no memorial to his life, save his writings.
"I conjure to my friends on no account to make me the subject of any monument, memorial or testimonial whatsoever. I rest my claims to the remembrance of my country upon my published works."

No sé si existe una traducción oficial en español, pero este es el sentido de su última voluntad.

Se podría incluso subrayar la voluntad de Dickens de que sus obra literaria sea su único monumento conmemorativo:
- "solo deseo que mi país me recuerde por mis obras publicadas"
- "deseo que mi país solo me recuerde por mis obras publicadas"
- "deseo que mi país me recuerde únicamente por mis obras publicadas"

... A small stone with a simple inscription marks the grave of Charles Dickens, famous English novelist, in Poets' Corner in Westminster Abbey:
CHARLES DICKENS
BORN 7th FEBRUARY 1812
DIED 9th JUNE 1870
This was at his own wish. He wrote in his will "that my name be inscribed in plain English letters on my tomb... I rest my claims to the remembrance of my country upon my published works..."...
En la línea de lo comentado, quizá "No pretendo que mi país me recuerde más que por mis obras publicadas". (?)
