Description

""The Childhood of David Copperfield"" is a novel written by Charles Dickens and published in 1898. The story follows the early life of the titular character, David Copperfield, from his birth to his adolescence. The novel is semi-autobiographical, as it draws heavily on Dickens' own experiences growing up in Victorian England. David's childhood is marked by tragedy and hardship, as he is forced to endure the death of his father, the remarriage of his mother to a cruel and abusive man, and a period of forced labor in a factory. Despite these challenges, David remains optimistic and determined to make a better life for himself. Throughout the novel, Dickens explores themes of class, social mobility, and the importance of education. He also introduces a colorful cast of characters, including the eccentric Mr. Micawber, the kind-hearted Peggotty family, and the conniving Uriah Heep. Overall, ""The Childhood of David Copperfield"" is a timeless coming-of-age story that continues to captivate readers with its vivid characters, richly detailed setting, and powerful themes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
