This drawn-out lawsuit over an inheritance stands at the center of a scathing portrayal of a moribund legal system and of a society permeated with greed, deception, delusion, and guilt. In no other work are the many faces of Dickens´genius-his powers of characterication, dramatic construction, social satire, and peotic evocation - so memorably combined. Peopled by an immense gallery of vivid characters, major and minor comic and trgic, in settings which ragen from the mansion of a fear-haunted noblewoman to the squalor of the London slums, this superb example of narrative art has been ranked by Edmund Wilson as "The masterpiece of (Dickens´) middle period" contraportada.Tipo de ítem | Ubicación actual | Biblioteca de origen | Colección | Signatura | Estado | Fecha de vencimiento | Código de barras |
