"Klein Dorrit" zählt zu Dickens weniger bekannten Werken, aber es ist genauso spannend und wendungsreich wie «Bleak House» oder «Great Expectations». Der Handlungsort ist auf jeden Fall außergewöhnlich, spielt es doch zum guten Teil in einem Schuldgefängnis, dem Marshalsea, wo William Dorrit mit seiner Familie wohnt – ohne Aussicht, seine Schulden bezahlen zu können, muss er auf unbestimmte Zeit dort bleiben, und seine drei Kinder sind bei ihm, denn das Gefängnis ist sozusagen ihr Zuhause,...
