Description

The Life and Adventures Of Nicholas Nickleby Charles Dickens

Chronicles the adventures of a young man in Victorian England who is deprived of his rightful fortune, forced to depend on a cruel relative for money, and joins a band of travelling entertainers. Around the central story of Nicholas Nickleby and the misfortunes of his family Dickens created some of his most wonderful characters: the muddle-headed Mrs. Nickleby, the gloriously theatrical Crummles, their protegee Miss Petowker, the pretentious Mantalinis, and the mindlessly cruel Squeers and his wife. Nicholas Nickleby, with its episodes of chicanery in finance and education, and the dramatic intensity with which it tells the story of its open-hearted protagonists, a young brother and sister at sea in a dangerous world, and its frightening villain, the magnificently rendered Ralph Nickleby, represents Dickens at his clear-eyed, indignant and mesmerizing best.
