Casa desolada I

by Charles Dickens

Overview

En un Londres neblinoso y enfangado, un pleito se eterniza en el decadente Tribunal de la Cancillería. La anquilosada maquinaria judicial asiste al paso de generaciones, al suicidio o al enloquecimiento de algunos querellantes, al enmohecimiento de las posesiones y a la ruina material o espiritual de incontables individuos con una impasibilidad que llega a lo cruel.

About the Author

Charles Dickens (1812-1870) is probably the greatest novelist England has ever produced, the author of such famous books as A Christmas Carol, Hard Times, Great Expectations, David Copperfield, and Oliver Twist. His innate comic genius and shrewd depictions of Victorian life — along with his indelible characters — have made his books beloved by readers the world over. Dickens was born in Landport, Portsea, England and died in Kent after suffering a stroke. The second of eight children of a family continually plagued by debt, the young Dickens came to know hunger, privation, and the horrors of the infamous debtors' prison and the evils of child labor. These unfortunate early life experiences helped shape many of his greatest works.
