Présentation de l'éditeur: Martin Chuzzlewit is the story of two Chuzzlewits, Martin and Jonas, who have inherited the characteristic Chuzzlewit selfishness. It contrasts their diverse fates of moral redemption and worldly success for one, with increasingly desperate crime for the other. This powerful black comedy involves hypocrisy, greed and blackmail, as well as the most famous of Dickens's grotesques, Mrs Gamp. In her introduction to this new Penguin Classics edition, Patricia Ingham discusses how, in writing a story that was only meant to 'recommend goodness and innocence', Dickens succeeded in exploring 'the intertwining of moral sensibility and brutality.

paperback. No Jacket. New York. 1965. Signet/New American Library. 2nd Printing of This Signet Classic Edition. Very Good in Slightly Worn Wrappers. 045150612x. Afterword By Marvin Mudrick. 698 pages. paperback. CY612. keywords: Signet Classic Europe England Literature 19th Century. DESCRIPTION - A parable of selfishness, a grisly melodrama, and an exuberant triumph of comic invention, Martin Chuzzlewit gives full display to Dickens' genius. Peopled by many of the author's most famous character creations - among them the memorable Mr. Pecksniff and the inimitable Mrs. Sarah Gamp - it tells a story of innocence, treachery, and retribution, with a young hero who makes the near - fatal error of seeking his fortune in America. The complex plot marks the transition from Dickens' earlier picaresque narratives to the structural unity of his later works; the novel's depiction of American life represents a high point in Dickensian social satire, rendering a judgment since echoed by many foreign visitors to our shores, but never in a form so bitter, so biting, or so wonderfully entertaining. Writing of Dickens, Marvin Mudrick declares: 'The point is not that he is a master of the comic and the ridiculous, though of course he is. The operative word is 'extravagances': it is the unexpended and startling momentum, the reckless improvisation, the demoniacal gusto. that identify the special Dickensian ridiculous.' inventory #28997 Very Good in Slightly Worn Wrappers.
