Widely regarded as Dickens's masterpiece, Bleak House centers on the generations-long lawsuit Jarndyce and Jarndyce, through which “whole families have inherited legendary hatreds.” Focusing on Esther Summerson, a ward of John Jarndyce, the novel traces Esther's romantic coming-of-age and, in classic Dickensian style, the gradual revelation of long-buried secrets, all set against the foggy backdrop of the Court of Chancery. Mixing romance, mystery, comedy, and satire, Bleak House limns the suffering caused by the intricate inefficiency of the law.

Il primo romanzo dello scrittore inglese viene considerato uno dei capolavori della letteratura britannica.Il romanzo fu pubblicato a fascicoli, e la loro pubblicazione divenne una sorta di evento: nelle famiglie, nei cortili, si aspettava che chi ne aveva i mezzi comperasse il fascicolo e lo leggesse a chi non ne aveva la possibilita.Dickens, con umorismo e sagacia, inventa un ritratto eccentrico e nostalgico di un'Inghilterra di un'epoca umana e cordiale, immagine che verra capovolta nei successivi romanzi, piu drammatici, che rappresenteranno invece tutto il cinismo della societa del suo tempo.

A satiric masterpiece about the allure and peril of money, Our Mutual Friend revolves around the inheritance of a dust-heap where the rich throw their trash. When the body of John Harmon, the dust-heap's expected heir, is found in the Thames, fortunes change hands surprisingly, raising to new heights “Noddy” Boffin, a low-born but kindly clerk who becomes “the Golden Dustman.” Charles Dickens's last complete novel, Our Mutual Friend encompasses the great themes of his earlier works: the pretensions of the nouveaux riches, the ingenuousness of the aspiring poor, and the unfailing power of wealth to corrupt all who crave it. With its flavorful cast of characters and numerous subplots, Our Mutual Friend is one of Dickens's most complex—and satisfying—novels.
