David Copperfield, a classic novel by Charles Dickens, tells of a little boy's struggles against a wicked stepfather and other hardships as he grows to manhood. The story is also enlivened with many colorfully comic characters. Probably the funniest of them is the always-in-debt but ever hopeful Mister Micawber. Dickens claimed that David Copperfield was his favorite among his many fictional characters. This edition is paperback. The book is also available in a hardcover edition.Charles Dickens (1812-1870) has been remembered in history as one of the greatest authors of the Victorian era. Not only having received tremendous success while he was alive, Charles Dickens' work continues to be read as voraciously as when it was first published. Because of his tremendous popularity, Charles Dickens has secured himself the position of not only being one of the greatest writers of his generation, but one of the most celebrated writers of all time. In addition to his writing, Charles Dickens was a prominent activist, dedicating much of his life to fighting for better social conditions for the poor as well as powerfully advocating for better laws to protect the rights of children. When a piece of literature refers to either unfair working and living conditions, or else portrays the state of a morally corrupt social class, the writing is thus referred to as Dickensian. Much of literary traditions thus owe their inspiration from the writing of Charles Dickens.
