Bleak House (eBook)

First published in 1853, ‘Bleak House’ is a novel by Charles Dickens, an English writer and social critic. He created some of the world's best-known fictional characters and is regarded by many as the greatest novelist of the Victorian era. It is a complicated story of passion and heritage that materialized against the mid-nineteenth-century English legal system, with its tortuous avenues and disguised resolves. Here is the firm, Jarndyce & Jarndyce, the young orphan, and ward of court Esther Summerson, who narrates much of the story. As always, it is the capable pen of Dickens himself that makes the swiftness with his sharp eye for both unique personalities and their attributes, and the setting of Victorian London.
