"The year befores he died Charles Dickens wrote of David Copperfield, "Of all my books, I like this the best". The story of the abandoned waif who develops a "disciplined heart" though challenging encounters with distress and msifortune is a supreme example of Dickens skill as a novelist. In this great work plots and counterplots aare interwoven into one intricate, grand design... and a huge gallery of individual characters comes alive. the malignantly treacherous Uriah Heep, the jovial nurse Peggottly, the foolishly innocent Dora, the improvident Mr. Micawber, the egotistic and charmin Steerforth - these stand among literatures´s most remembered people. "Dickens excelled in character; in the creation of characters of greater intensity than human beongs." - T.S. Eliot.
