Book Description:
David Copperfield is one of Charles Dickens’s most beloved and autobiographical novels, tracing the life of its titular character from a troubled childhood to maturity. Told in the first person, the novel recounts David’s journey through hardship, love, ambition, and self-discovery as he navigates a world shaped by cruelty, kindness, poverty, and success.
Along the way, David encounters a richly drawn cast of characters, including the humble Peggotty family, the cruel Mr. Murdstone, the charming but untrustworthy Steerforth, the ever-optimistic Mr. Micawber, and the devious Uriah Heep. Through these relationships, Dickens explores themes of perseverance, identity, social class, and personal growth.
Full of humor, heartache, and humanity, David Copperfield is not only a coming-of-age tale but also a sweeping portrait of Victorian England. It remains a cornerstone of classic literature and a masterful example of Dickens’s storytelling genius.
