Specificatii
Charles Dickens's powerful black comedy of of hypocrisy and greed
The greed of his family has led wealthy old Martin Chuzzlewit to
become suspicious and misanthropic, leaving his grandson and
namesake to make his own way in the world. And so young Martin sets
out from the Wiltshire home of his supposed champion, the scheming
architect Pecksniff, to seek his fortune in America. In depicting
Martin's journey - an experience that teaches him to question his
inherited self-interest and egotism - Dickens created many vividly
realized figures: the brutish lout Jonas Chuzzlewit, plotting to
gain the family fortune; Martin's optimistic manservant, Mark
Tapley; gentle Tom Pinch; and the drunken and corrupt private
nurse, Mrs Gamp. With its portrayal of greed, blackmail and murder,
and its searing satire on America Dickens's novel is a powerful and
blackly comic story of hypocrisy and redemption. In her
introduction, Patricia Ingham examines characterization, the
central themes of the novel, and Dickens's depiction of America.
This edition also includes two new prefaces, Dickens's postscript
written in 1868, his working papers, a note on Mrs Gamp's eccentric
speech, a chronology, updated further reading, appendices and
original illustrations by 'Phiz'. For more than seventy years,
