It also talks about all the political and economic unrest that led to revolutions in the USA and France. The entire plot tumbles and twirls around the last theme! Every element of the book is rife with paradox and centres around the best and worst of times in London and Paris (the two cities in question). In this timeless classic, Dickens deals with diverse themes like duality, revolution and even resurrection. It is also one of the few novels whose essence was captured fairly well on the silver screen! The personification of nature and incredibly textured story makes for one of Dickens' finest reads. Instead, he allowed the characters to speak for themselves, and what ensued was a beautiful story about a young orphan boy Pip, his larger-than-life (and foolish) love for a somewhat cold-hearted Estella and of course, the omnipresent Magwitch who glued the story together.
He let go of his usual narrative style which involved him being the omniscient onlooker who could see through everything. With this riveting novel, Dickens seemed to have finally attained a complete mastery of the writing style that eventually became unique to him. The characters are among the strongest and most imaginative Dickens ever created! He manages to provide readers with the kind of visual onslaught you might only achieve from actually seeing a movie.
Of course, the matter is debatable and several Dickens connoisseurs might disagree, but this is the kind of writing that is capable of making you weep!Ī perfect example of Dickens' ability to serialize his writing, many critics believe the book's central character, Copperfield, was based on himself. The equivalent of what 'Ulysses' was to James Joyce or 'Paradise Lost' to Milton. Quite simply put, 'David Copperfield' was Dickens' ultimate masterpiece. With that in mind, we pay tribute to Charles Dickens by featuring some of his best works. His work has left millions of readers wanting more. It is a rarely-disputed fact that his writing style was capable of bringing even the most trite and sometimes dark subjects and characters to life in a manner few writers have been able to imitate since. This exemplary English author was born 200 years ago (Feb 7, 1812). As the world notes the legendary author's 200th birthday, here are 5 of his greatest works! If you haven't read all of them, it's time you did-even if it's just the abridged versions!
