David Copperfield Paperback - 2004
by Charles Dickens; Introduction by Jeremy Tambling; Notes by Jeremy Tambling
The classic saga of an orphaned boy making his way from the sweatshops of 19th-century London to finding family, love, and the good life by giving kindness and consideration to the people he meets along the way.
Summary
David Copperfield is the story of a young man’s adventures on his journey from an unhappy and impoverished childhood to the discovery of his vocation as a successful novelist. Among the gloriously vivid cast of characters he encounters are his tyrannical stepfather, Mr. Murdstone; his formidable aunt, Betsey Trotwood; the eternally humble yet treacherous Uriah Heep; frivolous, enchanting Dora; and the magnificently impecunious Micawber, one of literature’s great comic creations. In David Copperfield—the novel he described as his “favorite child”—Dickens drew revealingly on his own experiences to create one of his most exuberant and enduringly popular works, filled with tragedy and comedy in equal measure.
