David Copperfield

Charles Dickens's most personal and beloved novel traces the life of David Copperfield from a troubled childhood to maturity, through poverty, cruelty, friendship, and love. Orphaned and sent to labor in a London factory, David endures the tyranny of his stepfather, the schemes of the unctuous Uriah Heep, and the heartbreak of misplaced affection—but he also finds unforgettable companions in the eternally optimistic Mr. Micawber and the fiercely loving Betsey Trotwood. Dickens called it his 'favourite child,' and its blend of comedy, pathos, and vivid characters has made it a cornerstone of English literature.
