David Copperfield

“Whether I shall turn out to be the hero of my own life, or whether that station will be held by anybody else, these pages must show.”

David Copperfield relates the story of his life from the moment he was born to a time he has settled into his career as a writer. Copperfield meets an astonishing array of people—Aunt Betsey Trotwood, Uriah Heep, Steerforth, Mr. Micawber, Peggotty, Dora, Little Em'ly—who are themselves now classic characters of literature, and he experiences an equally astonishing array of life experiences that shape him from a naive boy into a thoughtful man.
