by Charles Dickens is one of the greatest masterpieces of British literature. Brilliant and sparkling, this book is a stunning portrait of internal psychological processes. This is the story of a boy orphaned at an early age who must struggle and work hard to make his way and find an identity in the world. Dickens gave us also a social commentary on Victorian life in England during the 19th century. He explored avant-garde themes related to the plight of the weak, equality in marriage, class and wealth, moral virtues, broken families... It's a tale of the best & worst of human nature & conditions, of abuse, scheming, hatred, and arrogance but also of humility, kindness & generosity. It is a story of loss & redemption. This wonderful classic will keep you enraptured by its ever-changing script. Illustrations by J.W. ORR.
