Sobre este artículo
Nicholas Nickleby is Charles Dickens's third novel and brilliantly combines his exuberant comic gifts with his crusading social conscience.
Nicholas is a young man of "impetuous temper and little or no experience" who saves his family from dire misfortune at the hands of his villainous uncle, Ralph. And all around him is a great gallery if Dickensian types, who range from the farcical - the Mantalinis, the Lillyvicks and the Crummles family of travelling actors - the pathetic - Smike, the maltreated schoolboy - to the downright wicked - Sir Mulberry Hawk and Wackford Squeers, the infamous headmaster of Dotheboys Hall.
Mixing comedy and horror, melodrama and acid satire, Dickens depicts a world in which the exploitation and abuse of youth and innocence cannot ever fully vanquish kindness, affection and the joyful energies of life.
Sinopsis
Nicholas Nickleby finds himself penniless after his father's death and turns to his wealthy uncle to help him find work in effort to protect his mother and sister. But Ralph Nickleby proves both hard-hearted and unscrupulous, and Nicholas finds himself forced to navigate his own way in the world. This adventure gave Dickens the opportunity to portray an extraordinary gallery of rogues and eccentrics: Wackford Squeers, the tyrannical headmaster of Dotheboys Hall, a school for unwanted boys; the slow-witted orphan Smike, rescued by Nicholas; and the gloriously theatrical Mr and Mrs Crummles and their daughter, the 'infant phenomenon'. Like many of Dickens's novels, Nicholas Nickleby is characterised by his outrage at cruelty and social injustice, but is also a lively work, revealing his comic genius at its highest.

Sobre Fay Tsapoga
I own a large number of old and second-hand books, mostly American and English classic literature. I am selling from a personal collection. All books are in good condition, with no missing pages or any kind of damage. Selling will only take place online as I don't have a physical store.
