Step into the most personal of Dickens's novels—the story he called his "favourite child." David Copperfield sweeps you from a childhood of tenderness and terror to the hard-won triumphs of adulthood, all told in a voice that grows wiser, funnier, and more compassionate with every chapter.
When gentle David is orphaned and sent to toil in a grim London warehouse, he refuses to be broken. With the fierce protection of Aunt Betsey Trotwood, the steadfast kindness of Peggotty, and friendships that test the soul—Steerforth's charm, Traddles's loyalty, Agnes's quiet strength—David learns what it means to choose character over circumstance. Along the way, Dickens gives us one of literature's great rogues in Uriah Heep, the indomitable optimism of Mr. Micawber, and a storm-lashed reckoning on the coast of Yarmouth that you'll never forget.
