Bleak House

Charles Dickens

ISBN: 9781853260827

Язык: English

Издательство: Wordsworth Editions

Год издания: 2001

Объём: 760 pages

Bleak House is one of Dickens’s finest achievements, establishing his reputation as a serious and mature novelist, as well as a brilliant comic writer. It is at once a complex mystery story that fully engages the reader in the work of detection, and an unforgettable indictment of an indifferent society. Its representations of a great city’s dark underworld, and of the law’s corruption and delay, draw upon the author’s personal knowledge and experience. But it is his symbolic art that projects these things in a vision that embraces black comedy, cosmic farce, and tragic ruin. In a unique experiment, Dickens divides the narrative between his heroine, Esther Summerson, who in psychologically interesting in her own right, and an unnamed narrator whose perspective both complements and challenges hers.
