Dive into the world of David Copperfield, a literary masterpiece by Charles Dickens, that is as much a social commentary as it is an engaging tale. Filled with vivid, exaggerated characters from all walks of life, this novel offers a rich panorama of 19th-century society. Discover the virtuous yet humble Mr. Peggotty, the avaricious and vindictive Heep, and the money-obsessed Julia Mills. On this journey, youll explore themes of love, sacrifice, greed, and arrogance. More personal than any of Dickens other works, David Copperfield draws parallels with the authors own life, hinting at a hidden autobiography within its pages. Moreover, this novel centers on the strength, joy, and significance of family, portraying anything that threatens it as fundamentally evil. Join us as we unravel this extraordinary story. - Summary by Jim Locke
