Charles John Huffam Dickens (1812–1870) was an outstanding English writer, novelist, and essayist— a classic of world literature and one of the greatest prose writers of the 19th century.
The famous novel “David Copperfield” (“The Life of David Copperfield, Told by Himself”) by the great English writer Charles Dickens won the love and admiration of readers around the world. In many ways autobiographical, this novel tells the story of a boy forced to fight alone against a cruel, joyless world populated by vicious teachers, self-interested factory owners, and heartless servants of the law. In this unequal war, David can be saved only by moral firmness, purity of heart, and extraordinary talent—one capable of turning a filthy runaway into England’s greatest writer.
