David Copperfield

*David Copperfield*—a story of epic scope and exuberance—is one of Charles Dickens’s most important works and one of the most celebrated books in world literature. It tells the story of David Copperfield and the villains, saviors, and eccentrics who cross his path—characters such as Mr. Murdstone, the brave Peggotty, the formidable Betsey Trotwood, the hapless Micawber, and the odious Uriah Heep. Dickens often said that this was his most cherished work, partly because it was inspired by his own experiences; it is also worth noting that the book is brimming with life and filled with fabulous tragicomic moments.
