Charles Dickens, The Life of David Copperfield, as Told by Himself

The celebrated novel "The Life of David Copperfield" by the great English writer Charles Dickens has won the love and acclaim of readers worldwide. Largely autobiographical, this novel tells the story of a boy forced to fight alone against a cruel, bleak world populated by evil teachers, self-serving industrialists, and heartless law enforcement officers. In this unequal war, only moral strength, purity of heart, and an extraordinary talent capable of transforming a filthy ragamuffin into England's greatest writer can save David. This edition features brilliant illustrations by the Soviet artist Grigory Filippovsky (1909–1987).
