Beschrijving
'Please, Mr Murdstone! Don't beat me! I've tried to learn my lessons, really I have, sir!' sobs David.
Although he is only eight years old, Mr Murdstone does beat him, and David is so frightened that he bites his cruel stepfather's hand. For that, he is kept locked in his room for five days and nights, and nobody is allowed to speak to him.
As David grows up, he learns that life is full of trouble and misery and cruelty. But he also finds laughter and kindness, trust and friendship... and love.

Quando, nel 1850, pubblica David Copperfield, Charles Dickens offre ai suoi lettori per la prima volta un romanzo da lui scritto in prima persona e, dietro la storia del giovane protagonista, quelle che si possono leggere sono a volte le vicende personali dell’autore stesso. Ma ciò che si viene delineando attraverso i primi dolorosi anni, il duro apprendistato di vita in fabbrica, e poi la fuga e il vagabondare picaresco del giovane Copperfield, è soprattutto un romanzo di formazione in cui il personaggio si fa biografo di se stesso.
