By Charles Dickens
In David Copperfield, Charles Dickens crafts a novel that unerringly recreates a bygone era. Considered to be the most autobiographical of all his works, the author’s penchant for colorful tangents and embellished eloquence is in full force in this tale. Dickens at his best, he tells the story of a very different type of hero and monster.
The hero is young David Copperfield, and the monsters are adults who come into his life under the guise of protector or school master. Among the gloriously vivid cast of characters he encounters are his tyrannical stepfather, Mr Murdstone; his brilliant, but ultimately unworthy school-friend James Steerforth; his formidable aunt, Betsey Trotwood; the eternally humble, yet treacherous Uriah Heep; frivolous, enchanting Dora Spenlow; and the magnificently impecunious Wilkins Micawber, one of literature's great comic creations.This is a must-read British classic.
