Description

Charles Dickens's powerful black comedy explores the darker side of human nature. Martin Chuzzlewit, a young man with a troubled family history, sets out to make his fortune in America, only to find himself entangled in a web of greed, blackmail and murder. As he navigates this treacherous landscape, Dickens creates vividly realized figures, each with their own distinct voice and motivations. From the brutish lout who seeks to exploit Martin's family fortune, to the optimistic manservant who remains steadfast in his loyalty, each character adds depth and complexity to the story. This Penguin Classics edition includes a new introduction by Patricia Ingham, as well as two new prefaces, Dickens's postscript written in 1868, and original illustrations by 'Phiz'.
