Nicholas Nickleby

Descripción

On his comical and satirical adventures up and down the country, our hero confronts a large and varied cast of characters, including Wackford Squeers, the fantastic ogre of a schoolmaster, and Vincent Crummles, the grandiloquent ham actor. Punishing wickedness, befriending the helpless, strutting the stage, and falling in love, Nicholas shares some of his creator's energy and earnestness as he faces the pressing issues of early Victorian society. Paul Schlicke has provided an introduction and extensive notes for this superb edition of one of Dickens's most popular novels. Published On: 2023-04-18
