Synopsis
'I really think I have done it ingeniously and with a very complicated interweaving of truth and fiction.' So wrote Dickens of David Copperfield (1850), the novel he called his 'favourite child'. Through his hero Dickens draws openly on his own life, as David Copperfield recalls his experiences from childhood to the discovery of his vocation as a successful novelist. Rosa Dartle, Dora, Steerforth and Uriah Heep are among the characters who focus the hero's sexual and emotional drives, and Mr Micawber, a portrait of Dickens's own father, evokes the mixture of love, nostalgia and guilt that, put together, make this Dickens's most quoted and best-loved novel.

Review
"Dickens's most mature meditation on the ethics of capitalism is haunted by ambivalent images of railroads, progress and death" (Guardian)
"Dickens' sentences, his bold, sentimental outcries addressed to the reader and his marvelously imagistic descriptions, are a part of the magical world that assaults and seduces any reader" (Chicago Tribune)
"A thoroughly gripping affair...Guaranteed laughs, guaranteed tears" (Daily Mail)
"'There's no writing against such power as this-one has no chance'" (William Makepeace Thackeray)
"Nothing seems more quintessentially British than Charles Dickens" (The Times)
Book Description
A proud businessman is at the heart of this satire - Dombey and Son is funny, highly relevant and hugely enjoyable.
