Charles Dickens 
Bleak House (Centaur Classics) [The 100 greatest novels of all time – #49] [EPUB ebook] 

«Bleak House» was first published as a serial between March 1852 and September 1853, and is considered to be one of Dickens’ finest novels, containing vast, complex and engaging arrays of characters and sub-plots.
The story is told partly by the novel’s heroine, Esther Summerson, and partly by an omniscient narrator. Memorable characters include haughty Lady Honoria Dedlock, the menacing lawyer Tulkinghorn, the realistic John Jarndyce, and the childish and disingenuous Harold Skimpole, as well as the imprudent Richard Carstone.
