Charles Dickens

Bleak House (with an Introduction by Edwin Percy Whipple)

Widely considered as one of Dickens most superb and complete novels, “Bleak House” contains a more vastly complex and engaging array of characters and sub-plots than any of Dickens’s novels. As is commonplace in his works, Dickens satirically criticizes the social inequities of his time turning his attacks in this instance to the judicial system of 19th century England. At the center of the novel is the story of John Jarndyce who is tied up in a long-running litigation concerning an estate to...

When his mother dies in childbirth, Oliver Twist finds himself in a situation of dire poverty. At the time, those who could not afford to provide for themselves were often forced into servitude under the harsh Poor Laws of 19th century England. At the age of nine, Oliver is set to...

David Copperfield (with an Introduction by Edwin Percy Whipple)

The eighth novel of Charles Dickens, which was first published serially between May 1849 and November 1850, “David Copperfield,” is viewed as one of the most autobiographical of all the author’s novels. A classic coming-of-age story, it is the tale of its titular character from childhood to maturity which chronicles the struggle between the emotional and moral aspects of his life. Central to the theme of the novel is the idea of the disciplined heart. Dickens suggests that people basically fall...

First published serially between 1864 and 1865, “Our Mutual Friend” is the last novel completed by Charles Dickens. The death of a wealthy miser, who is estranged from all except his trusted employees, Nicodemus and Henrietta Boffin, brings his son John Harmon back to London in order to claim his inheritance.

Nicholas Nickleby (with an Introduction by Edwin Percy Whipple)

Though only Dickens’ third novel, “Nicholas Nickleby” is a well-crafted and significant precursor to his other great works. The tale follows the fortunes of a young man, the son of an imprudent gentleman who leaves his family without resources. Fiercely devoted to his mother and sisters, as well as his true friends, Nicholas is occasionally emotional and even violent, yet always idealistic. He seeks the aid of his villainous uncle, Ralph Nickleby, who comes to hate his nephew and wishes him...

Denkwürdigkeiten des Pickwick-Klubs

Als Charles Dickens, der große englische Humorist, 1870 gestorben war, wurden in den ersten zwölf Jahren nach seinem Tode in England allein vier Millionen Stück seiner Werke verkauft; ein Zeichen für die ungemeine Beliebtheit des Mannes, der dabei nicht, wie manch anderer großer Dichter, auf den Ruhm nach dem Tode als Ersatz für den fehlenden Ruhm bei Lebzeiten hat hoffen brauchen. Er war, sobald er zu schriftstellern begann, bereits vielgelesen, vielgekauft und gefeiert. Auch in Deutschland...

Eine Geschichte von zwei Städten

Er ließ sich scheiden, seine britische Wochenzeitschrift Household Words ging ein, während er eine neue Zeitschrift All the Year Round startete. "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness…" so beginnt sein Roman über das Leben des Dr. Manette und seiner Tochter Lucie in zwei Städten, London und Paris.
