Book Description:
Synopsis:
The first of two collections of Dickens classics
In this superb abridged audio collection, suitable for die-hard Dicken' s fans and newcomers alike, three of Dicken's best novels are retold by Martin Jarvis in a manner that Dickens himself would have been proud of. In "David Copperfield", Dickens cleverly weaves the more humorous elements - personified by Mr. Micawber and Betsy Trotwood - with David's own times of great happiness and tragedy. In doing so, he paints a powerful picture of social conditions in Victorian England. "Oliver Twist" is set in the seediest quarters of 19th century lowlife London. Yet, the novel is riddled with many of Dickens's most colourful characters: everyone's favourite innocent urchin Oliver finds himself up against the evil and conniving Fagin, the ruthless Bill Sykes, and the grotesque Artful Dodger. Not forgetting Nancy, the prostitute with a heart of gold. Many stage and film versions of Oliver Twist have been created, most recently by Roman Polanski. "Great Expectations" combines a story of unrequited love with Estella and is financed to fulfil his ambition by a mysterious benefactor. Other characters include the vindictive Miss Havisham and the big-hearted convict Abel Magwitch.
