David Copperfield

One of the best novels by Charles Dickens, his "favorite child" and largely autobiographical work, full of the charm of old good England. David Copperfield is born a few months after his father's death. He begins his life under the... care of a kind nanny and surrounded by his mother's love. However, as a boy, he encounters envy and malice and is forced to experience human cruelty, grief, and disappointment. Overcoming obstacles and enduring numerous hardships is aided for David Copperfield by the purity of his soul, clarity of thought, and greatness of spirit. The hero of the novel tells about himself, about the dear people in his life, and the events that happened to them. "David Copperfield" is a fantasy, sometimes cheerful, sometimes touching, on the theme of life, composed of memories and the fulfillment of the desires of a person with a vivid imagination and warm feelings. And its entertainment... is captivating." Somerset Maugham.
