Orphaned by his father, David Copperfield’s life is far from easy. After his mother remarries the despicable Mr. Murdstone, who mistreats him, David’s life plunges further into despair when his mother dies, and he is forced to work in a London warehouse at the tender age of ten. Fed up with his grim reality, David decides to escape and seek out his Aunt Betsy, a decision that sets his life on a new and hopeful path.
Narrated from the perspective of an adult, David Copperfield’s life is a tapestry woven with satire and ironic humor, grief and anguish, yet also filled with immense joy and the bustling noise of life.
Regarded by its author, Charles Dickens (1812-1870), as one of his finest works and perhaps the one most reflective of his own life, the trials and triumphs of young Copperfield mirror Dickens’ own experiences. Originally published in installments in 1849 and 1850, the novel quickly became a massive hit, eagerly anticipated by readers and lauded by critics.
This edition presents a carefully curated illustrated version, tailored for young readers and for adults who wish to revisit the vicissitudes of David Copperfield navigating through the Victorian society—a society filled with both brilliance and shadows, vividly captured by Dickens in a way that is both engaging and accessible.
