" Il lui répugnait beaucoup d'avoir la préséance sur tant de membres honorables de la famille, en commençant la première des histoires qu'ils allaient raconter chacun à leur tour, assis en demi-cercle auprès du feu de Noël, et, modestement, il suggéra qu'il serait plus convenable que ce fût d'abord John, notre estimable hôte, dont il demandait à porter la santé. Quant à lui, dit-il, il était si peu fait à se mettre, en avant, qu'en vérité... Mais ici tous s'écrièrent d'une voix unanime qu'il devait commencer, et ils furent d'accord pour répéter qu'il le pouvait, qu'il le devait, qu'il le ferait. Il discontinua donc de se frotter les mains, retira ses jambes de dessous son fauteuil et commença: Je ne doute point, dit le parent pauvre, que par la confession que je vais vous faire, je surprendrai les membres réunis de notre famille, et particulièrement John, notre estimable hôte, à qui nous avons une si grande obligation pour l'hospitalité magnifique avec laquelle il nous a traités aujourd'hui. Mais si vous me faites l'honneur d'être surpris de n'importe ce qui vient d'un membre de la famille aussi insignifiant que moi, tout ce que je peux vous dire, c'est que je serai d'une scrupuleuse exactitude dans tout ce que je vous raconterai. Je ne suis, point ce qu'on me suppose être. Je suis tout autre. Peut-être avant d'aller plus loin, serait-ce mieux d'indiquer d'abord ce que l'on suppose que je suis."

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.

One of Charles Dickens's most fascinating novels, Great Expectations follows the orphan Pip as he leaves behind a childhood of misery and poverty after an anonymous benefactor offers him a chance at the life of a gentleman. From the young Pip's first terrifying encounter with the convict Magwitch in the gloom of a graveyard to the splendidly morbid set pieces in Miss Havisham's mansion to the magnificently realized boat chase down the Thames, Great Expectations is filled with the transcendent excitement that Dickens could so abundantly provide. Written in 1860, at the height of his maturity, it also reveals the novelist's bittersweet understanding of the extent to which our deepest moral dilemmas are born of our own obsessions and illusions.This edition includes Dickens's original, discarded conclusion to the novel, the 1907 Everyman preface by G. K. Chesterton, and twenty illustrations by F. W. Pailthorpe.
