Copperfield Dávid
Vajon én magam leszek-e saját élettörténetem hőse, vagy ezt a tisztet másvalaki tölti be: majd elválik - az itt következő Iapokból kell kiderülnie. Hogy életrajzomat életem legeslegelején kezdjem, feljegyzem (mint másoktól tudom és el is hiszem): egy pénteki napon, pontosan éjfélkor születtem, Megfigyelték, hogy ugyanabban a pillanatban szólaltam meg, mint az óra: én bőgni kezdtem, az óra pedig ütni kezdte a tizenkettőt. A bába és egy-két tudós szomszédasszony, akik élénk érdeklődést tanúsítottak irántam már jó néhány hónapja amikor még igazán nem volt semmi lehetőség arra hogy személyes ismeretséget kössenek velem, születésem napjával és órájával kapcsolatosan kijelentették: először is, hogy csupa szerencsétlenséget tartogat számomra a sors, másodszor pedig, abban a kiváltságban fogok részesülni hogy szellemeket és kísérteteket láthatok, Szentül hitték ugyanis, hogy ezt a két csapást egyetlen boldogtalan csecsemő sem kerülheti el - akár fiú, akár lány -, ha péntek éjszaka a késői órákban jön a világra."Charles Dickens a XIX. századi angol realista irodalom legjelentősebb alakja. Letehetetlen történetének hőse egy kisfiú, akit gonosz mostohaapja már gyermekként munkára kényszerít. Copperfield Dávid rengeteg szenvedéssel teli kalandot él át, azonban talpraesettsége és meleg szíve révén, meg persze néhány kedves ember segítségével, mindig felülemelkedik a kilátástalan helyzeteken.

Oliver Twist /PPC/
Dickens' second novel is a compelling portrait of the clash between the innocence of childhood and a dark criminal underworld inhabited by a vivid cast of wicked or compromised characters. This new edition aims to place this mythical story of the struggle between good and evil firmly within the context of the early Victorian attitudes to crime and its punishment, and Dickens' own evolution as a novelist.

The Christmas Books
Dickens's story of solitary miser Ebenezer Scrooge, who is taught the true meaning of Christmas by a series of ghostly visitors, has proved one of his most well-loved works. Ever since it was published in 1843 it has had an enduring influence on the way we think about the traditions of Christmas. Dickens's other Christmas writings collected here include "The Story of the Goblins who Stole a Sexton", the short story from "The Pickwick Papers" on which "A Christmas Carol" was based, along with shorter pieces drawn from the "Christmas Stories' that Dickens wrote annually for his weekly journals. In all of them Dickens celebrates the season as one of geniality, charity and remembrance.

Great Expectations (Oxford World´s Classics)
Great Expectations charts the progress of Pip from childhood through often painful experiences to adulthood, as he moves from the Kent marshes to busy, commercial London, encountering a variety of extraordinary characters ranging from Magwitch, the e
scaped convict, to Miss Havisham, locked up with her unhappy past and living with her ward, the arrogant, beautiful Estella. In this compelling story, Dickens shows the dangers of being driven by a desire for wealth and social status. Pip must establ
ish his own sense of self against the plans which others seem to have for him, and thus discover a firm set of values and priorities. Whether such values will allow one to prosper in the complex world of early Victorian England is, however, the major
question posed by Great Expectations, one of Dickens's most fascinating and disturbing novels. This edition uses the text of the Clarendon edition, with a new Introduction and explanatory notes. The appendices give the original, discarded ending, Di
ckens's brief working notes, and the serial instalments and chapter divisions in different editions.Upozornenie: Vzhľadom na častejšie obmeny vydaní tejto knihy v zahraničí, kus, ktorý vám zašleme, nemusí mať rovnakú obálku ako je zobrazená tu. Zobra

A Christmas Carol and Other Christmas Books (Oxford World´s Classics)
Ebenezer Scrooge is a bad-tempered skinflint who hates Christmas and all it stands for, but a ghostly visitor foretells three apparitions who will thaw Scrooge's frozen heart. A Christmas Carol has gripped the public imagination since it was first pu

ll five stories show Dickens at his unpredictable best, jumbling together comedy and melodrama, genial romance and urgent social satire, in pursuit of his aim 'to awaken some loving and forbearing thoughts, never out of season in a Christian land'.Up

By her side sits a proud and beautiful girl, and in front of her, trembling with fear in his thick country boots, stands young Pip. Miss Havisham stares at Pip coldly, and murmurs to the girl at her side: 'Break his heart, Estella. Break his heart!'
