Description
Charles Dickens's last complete novel, Our Mutual Friend, is a glorious satire that spans all levels of Victorian society. The story centres on an inheritance - Old Harmon's profitable dust heaps - and its legatees, young John Harmon and kindly dustman Mr Boffin, to whom the fortune defaults. With brilliant satire, Dickens portrays a dark, macabre London, inhabited by disparate characters such as scavengers, social-climbers, and street-traders. The novel is richly symbolic in its vision of death and renewal in a city dominated by the fetid Thames, and the corrupting power of money. This new edition of the 1865 first volume includes original illustrations, a chronology, and revised further reading, providing a comprehensive introduction to this complex and enigmatic novel.
