A proposito di questo titolo

 Martin Chuzzlewit, Charles Dickens sixth novel, was serially published from 1843 to 1844. Despite Dickens declaring it to be immeasurably the best of my stories, it initially struggled to captivate the public as previous works had. However, by the 1850s, its reputation grew, and it is now celebrated as a great literary achievement. The story begins slowly but is enriched by exquisite prose throughout. At its heart lies the exploration of selfishness and obstinacy, as the young protagonist, Martin Chuzzlewit, finds himself estranged from his grandfather due to his love for Mary Graham, his grandfathers ward. As Martin embarks on a journey of self-discovery, he travels to America, where transformative experiences await him, ultimately leading to his return as a wiser man. The novel showcases a vibrant cast of characters, from the comic Seth Pecksniff, a slippery hypocrite, to the boozy nurse Mrs. Gamp, whose mangled English provides humor, and the sinister Jonas Chuzzlewit, a brooding murderer. Full of intricate plots, deception, and confidence tricksters, the narrative also serves as a satirical commentary on Dickens own experiences in America during his 1842 visit. With witty humor woven throughout, the novel introduces us to the irrepressible young Bailey, the melancholy Augustus Moddle, and the rich tapestry of life that reflects both the absurd and the profound.Copyright Comedy and Fairy Tales Arte Storia e critica della letteratura
