Dickens Charles David Copperfield
Dickens's great coming-of-age novel, now in a beautiful clothbound Penguin edition This is the novel Dickens regarded as his 'favourite child' and is considered his most autobiographical. As David recounts his experiences from childhood to the discovery of his vocation as a successful novelist, Dickens draws openly and revealingly on his own life. Among the gloriously vivid cast of characters are Rosa Dartle, Dora, Steerforth, and the 'umble Uriah Heep, along with Mr Micawber, a portrait of Dickens's own father which evokes a mixture of love, nostalgia and guilt. Dickens's great Bildungsroman (based, in part, on his own boyhood) is a work filled with life, both comic and tragic. Charles Dickens (1812-70) had his first, astounding success with his first novel The Pickwick Papers and never looked back. In an extraordinarily full life he wrote, campaigned and spoke on a huge range of issues, and was involved in many of the key aspects of Victorian life, by turns cajoling, moving and irritating. He completed fourteen full-length novels and volume after volume of journalism. Of all his many works, he called David Copperfield his 'favourite child'.

Dickens Charles David Copperfield
David Copperfield – Dickens’s most celebrated novel, and the author’s own favourite – is the classic account of one boy growing up in a world which is by turns magical, fearful and grimly realistic. In a book which is part fairy tale, part thinly-veiled autobiography, Dickens transmutes his life-experience into a brilliant series of comic and sentimental adventures in the spirit of the great eighteenth-century novelists he so much admired. Few readers can fail to be touched by David’s fate, and fewer still to be delighted by his story. This edition reprints the original Everyman preface by G. K. Chesterton and includes thirty-nine illustrations by ‘Phiz’.

Millions of readers have taken young David into their hearts as well, weeping over his misfortunes and exulting in his triumphs.

In addition to its compelling narrative, David Copperfields great appeal lies in its memorable cast of characters. From Mr. Murdstone. the brutal stepfather, to the scheming clerk Uriah bleep, the novel is peopled by vividly observed characters. Nursemaid Peggoty, bursting with vitality, leaves a trail of flying buttons in her wake. Grandiloquent Mr. Micawber is ever-confident that something will turn up to save his large brood from penury. Kind but wildly eccentric, Aunt Betsey Trotwood accepts counsel from the wise fool, Mr. Dick, and provides a heated reception for trespassing donkeys.
