Description
"Bleak House", et av Viktoriatidens virkelige mesterverk og en av verdenslitteraturens mektigste byromaner. Charles Dickens er rett og slett en mester når det gjelder å skape en perfekt blanding av komedie og sosial satire. "Bleak House" inneholder mysterier, tragedie, mord, tilgivelse og svært utholdende kjærlighet. Romanen er nå nyoversatt i anledning 200-årsjubileet. "Bleak House" er kjent for å være en av Dickens' mest ambisiøse bøker. Den er hans niende roman og ble utgitt som en føljetong i tjue deler mellom mars 1852 og september 1853. Hans sterke kritikk av sider i rettssystemet førte faktisk til at dette delvis ble endret i 1870.

I decided to read this having watched Dickensian on the BBC as I wanted to find out more about the Barbery sisters. I had seen Bleak House on TV many years ago so knew the general gist.I do love Dickens but some chapters I found hard work. There were a few chapters - generally about the more minor characters - that I just couldn't grasp so I couldn't focus on what was supposed to be happening i.e. George, Smallweed. The wider story was very engaging and as usual Dickens character descriptions were second to none.
