Bleak House (with an Introduction by Edwin Percy Whipple) by Dickens
Widely considered as one of Dickens most superb and complete novels, Bleak House contains a more vastly complex and engaging array of characters and sub-plots than any of Dickens's novels. As is commonplace in his works, Dickens satirically criticizes the social inequities of his time turning his attacks in this instance to the judicial system of 19th century England. At the center of the novel is the story of John Jarndyce who is tied up in a long-running litigation concerning an estate to which his wards Richard Carstone and Ada Clare are the beneficiaries. A series of events take the vast array of comic and tragic characters from the slums of London to the mansions of noblemen, involving some in treachery and others in discovery. Dickens blends the perfect balance of comedy and social satire in a story that contains mystery, tragedy, murder, redemption, and enduring love. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper and includes an introduction by Edwin Percy Whipple.
