Riassunto: | "Of all Dickens's novels, <b>David Copperfield</b> most fervently embraces the comic delights, the tender warmth, the tragic horrors of childhood. It is our classic tale of growing up, an enchanting story of a gently orphan discovering life and love in an indifferent adult world. Persecuted by his wrathful stepfather, Mr. Murdstone; deceived by his boyhood idol, the callous, charming Steerforth; driven into mortal combat with the sniveling clerk Uriah Heep; and hurled, pell-mell, into a blizzard of infatuation with the adorably dim-witted Dora, he survives the worst-and the best-with inimitable style, his bafflement tuming to self-awareness and his unbridles young heart growing ever more disciplined and true.Of this richly autobiographical novel Dickens himself wrote, ""like many fond parents, I have in my heart of hearts a favorite child. And his name is David Copperfield."" " |
