Nicholas Nickleby: Introduction by John Carey (Everyman's Library Classics Series),Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Charles Dickens had an understanding of midVictorian society second to none, and genius and energy massive enough to make the absurdities and terrors of that society come alive on the page. Nicholas Nickleby, with its episodes of chicanery in finance and education, and the dramatic intensity with which it tells the story of its openhearted young protagonist and its frightening villain, the magnificently rendered Ralph Nickleby, represents Dickens at his cleareyed, indignant, and mesmerizing best.When Nicholas Nickleby is left penniless by the death of his father, he appeals to his Uncle Ralph to help him and his mother and sister. But Ralph conceives a violent hatred of the young man, and his schemes of persecution haunt Nicholas through a series of picaresque adventures, including a job as a tutor at a horrific school for unwanted boys run by the cruel Wackford Squeers and a stint as a member of the eccentric Crummles family theater troupe. Without shying away from the grimmer aspects of the world Nicholas encounters on his path to eventual happiness, the story remains one of Dickenss most highspirited and exuberant.This edition reprints the original Everyman preface by G. K. Chesterton and includes thirtynine illustrations by Phiz.
