Rare edition with unique illustrations and elegant classic cream paper. Martin Chuzzlewit is Charles Dickens's powerful black comedy of hypocrisy and greed.The greed of his family has led wealthy old Martin Chuzzlewit to become suspicious and misanthropic, leaving his grandson and namesake to make his own way in the world. And so young Martin sets out from the Wiltshire home of his supposed champion, the scheming architect Pecksniff, to seek his fortune in America. In depicting Martin's journey - an experience that teaches him to question his inherited self-interest and egotism - Dickens created many vividly realized figures: the brutish lout Jonas Chuzzlewit, plotting to gain the family fortune; Martin's optimistic manservant, Mark Tapley; gentle Tom Pinch; and the drunken and corrupt private nurse, Mrs Gamp. With its portrayal of greed, blackmail and murder, and its searing satire on America Dickens's novel is a powerful and blackly comic story of hypocrisy and redemption. Charles Dickens is one of the best-loved novelists in the English language, whose 200th anniversary was celebrated in 2012. His most famous books, including Oliver Twist, Great Expectations, A Tale of Two Cities, David Copperfield and The Pickwick Papers, have been adapted for stage and screen and read by millions. Includes vintage illustration!

A Christmas Carol and other Christmas Writings: A Christmas Carol, A Christmas Tree, What Christmas is as we Grow Older, The Poor Relation's Story, The Child's Story, The Schoolboy's Story, Nobody's Story. The tale begins on Christmas Eve seven years after the death of Ebenezer Scrooge's business partner Jacob Marley. Scrooge is established within the first stave (chapter) as a greedy and stingy businessman who has no place in his life for kindness, compassion, charity, or benevolence. After being warned by Marley's ghost to change his ways, Scrooge is visited by three additional ghosts "each in its turn" who accompany him to various scenes with the hope of achieving his transformation. The first of the spirits, the Ghost of Christmas Past, takes Scrooge to the scenes of his boyhood and youth which stir the old miser's gentle and tender side by reminding him of a time when he was more innocent. The second spirit, the Ghost of Christmas Present, takes Scrooge to several radically differing scenes (a joy-filled market of people buying the makings of Christmas dinner, the family feast of Scrooge's near-impoverished clerk Bob Cratchit, a miner's cottage, and a lighthouse among other sites) in order to evince from the miser a sense of responsibility for his fellow man. The third spirit, the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, harrows Scrooge with dire visions of the future if he does not learn and act upon what he has witnessed. Scrooge's own neglected and untended grave is revealed, prompting the miser to aver that he will change his ways in hopes of changing these "shadows of what may be." In the fifth and final stave, Scrooge awakens Christmas morning with joy and love in his heart, then spends the day with his nephew's family after anonymously sending a prize turkey to the Crachit home for Christmas dinner. Scrooge has become a different man overnight, and now treats his fellow men with kindness, generosity, and compassion, gaining a reputation as a man who embodies the spirit of Christmas. The story closes with the narrator confirming the validity, completeness, and permanence of Scrooge's transformation.

Résumé Copperfield David Copperfield vient au monde dans le Sud-Est de l'Angleterre, au début du règne de la reine Victoria. Sa naissance semble marquer son destin d'un sceau funeste car c'est un enfant posthume: son père est mort six mois avant sa naissance. Toute sa vie, inconsciemment, il cherchera une figure paternelle qui lui a cruellement manqué. Cependant, ses premières années sont heureuses. Il vit dans la petite ville de Blunderstone, élevé par sa mère qui l'aime tendrement et soigné par la servante de la famille, la bonne et robuste Peggotty. Seule petite ombre au tableau: lors de sa naissance, la maison familiale a reçu la visite d'une grand-tante, la tante Betsey, qui semble avoir pris comme une offense personnelle le fait que sa nièce ait mis au monde un garçon et non une fille. Elle est partie en jurant qu'on ne la reverrait jamais. Un beau jour, Peggotty emmène David dans la ville de Yarmouth, petit port à l'est du pays. Là vit sa famille. Leur maison est étrange: c'est une coque de navire renversée sur la plage. L'enfant fait la connaissance de la gentille famille de la servante: Mr Peggotty, pêcheur, son jeune neveu Ham Peggotty et surtout sa jolie nièce, Emily, dont David s'amourache. L'enfant passe des vacances délicieuses, et rentre à Blunderstone pour trouver son monde bouleversé. En effet, sa mère s'est remariée. Son époux est le sombre Mr Murdstone, dont les principes d'éducation n'incluent ni la tendresse ni la gentillesse. L'atmosphère de la maison devient vite irrespirable pour un enfant. Mr Murdstone va jusqu'à lever la main sur David et le fouette. Indigné, l'enfant se révolte et mord la main de la brute. En représailles, il est envoyé en...

Oliver Twist kommt in einem Armenhaus auf die Welt. Die Mutter stirbt kurz nach der Geburt und hinterlässt nur ein kleines geheimnisvolles Medaillon, das eine alte Armenhäuslerin an sich nimmt. Der Junge wächst ohne Wissen um seine Abstammung als Waise mit zwanzig bis dreißig anderen Kindern unter der Obhut von Mrs Mann auf. Mit neun muss er ins Armenhaus, weil er zu alt fürs Waisenhaus ist. Als Oliver eines Tages von den anderen Jungen vorgeschickt wird, um mehr Essen zu erbitten, sieht sich das Armenhaus gezwungen, den "unverschämten Burschen", der "sicherlich mal am Galgen enden wird", zu bestrafen. Oliver wird mitsamt fünf Pfund an den Leichenbestatter Sowerberry verschenkt, um bei ihm in die Lehre zu gehen. Doch auch dort meint es das Schicksal mit dem armen Oliver nicht gut, und bevor er erneut zum Opfer eines Unglückes wird, flieht er nach London. Dort angekommen gerät er in die Fänge von Fagin, einem alten jüdischen Hehler, der elternlose Kinder zu Kriminellen ausbildet. Gemeinsam mit dem Baldowerer und dessen Kumpel soll Oliver schließlich das Handwerk des Taschendiebstahls erlernen, doch obwohl der Junge bei der Tat nur entsetzt zusehen kann, wird er von der Polizei geschnappt. Der Geschädigte, ein gütiger Mann namens Brownlow, spricht sich jedoch für Oliver aus und nimmt sich seiner an. Oliver wird zum ersten Mal gut behandelt, aber sein Glück hält nicht lange an. Er wird wieder von Fagin gefasst und muss mit einem der größten Verbrecher Londons einen Einbruch begehen. Dieser geht schief - Oliver wird bewusstlos und angeschossen in einem Graben liegengelassen. Zu seinem Glück nimmt ihn die Familie auf, die er zuvor bestehlen sollte. Jedoch beginnt nun wieder eine neue Jagd auf Oliver und ein unheimlicher Mensch namens Monks kommt ins Spiel. Mit Oliver Twist prangerte Dickens die gesellschaftlichen Missstände der damaligen Zeit an. Der Waisenknabe Oliver wird körperlich und seelisch misshandelt und erfährt nur von wenigen Menschen Güte und Barmherzigkeit. Die Armen und Kranken erscheinen als nichts mehr als Aussätzige in einer Welt der Stärkeren und gesellschaftlich Höhergestellten. Ungerechtigkeit, Hunger und Tod sind nicht die Ausnahme, sondern die Regel. Der Gesellschaftsroman war ein großer Erfolg. Vor allem durch seine zum Teil drastische Schilderung von Kinderarbeit, Verbrechen und Pauperismus zur Zeit der Frühindustrialisierung - die in scharfem Kontrast zur gemütlich-heiteren Stimmungslage von Charles Dickens erstem Roman "Die Pickwickier" stand - erregte er erhebliches Aufsehen und gilt auch heute noch als eines der bekanntesten Bücher weltweit.

David Copperfield es una de las novelas de Dickens más conocidas. Muchos de sus elementos hacen referencia a la propia vida del autor, siendo probablemente la más autobiográfica de todas sus obras. Así también, el mismo Dickens señaló en un prólogo de la novela "de todos mis libros, éste es el que más me gusta", y luego "como muchos padres, tengo un hijo preferido, un hijo que es mi debilidad; este hijo se llama David Copperfield".
