Лавка древностей. Том 1

Nelly Trent, who was not yet fourteen, grew up in her grandfather's antique shop. Young Nelly, surrounded by ancient and unusual things, feels as if she is in a fairy tale, but the fairy tale comes to an end when... the shop is taken away due to debts; her grandfather went bankrupt because of his painful passion for card games, and now he, along with his granddaughter, is forced to wander the roads of England. At first, it seems that Nelly is capable of helping both herself and her grandfather, but his addiction to gambling destroys all plans. New wanderings begin. The novel Antiques Shop is one of the most touching works of the classic of English literature Charles Dickens (1812-1870), where fairy tale confronts harsh reality, and the price of loss is incredibly high. The first volume of this edition includes the Foreword and chapters I-XXXVII.
