Description

An Apple Books Classic edition.

Charles Dickens’ best-loved novel among his own works, the ever-so-slightly autobiographical David Copperfield is a defining story of growth, resilience, and the search for belonging, told with warmth and wit.

As a young boy, David has his peaceful life shattered when his widowed mother marries the strict and domineering Edward Murdstone. Abused and then sent away to a harsh boarding school, he finds himself practically alone in the world after a devastating loss. His journey carries him from poverty and exploitation to friendship and love, with each step bringing him closer to discovering his own voice as a writer.

Filled with unforgettable characters like the formidable Betsey Trotwood and the swindler Uriah Heep, David Copperfield brims with laughter, heartbreak, and self-transformation.

    I enjoyed the side plot of a prodigal child and how the uncle never stopped loving her. The story is so true to life in many ways. The reading is very good with the reader having different voices for the various characters. The only problem was the large number of characters, but perhaps that is what makes the book so good.
  • A long but satisfying book

    The writing takes a little getting used to at first, but the reader is rewarded with a satisfying tale with expressive prose.
  • Stupid iBook defect prevents reading to the end.

    This iBook would not let me read the last few paragraphs, by blocking them with suggestions about what to read next and begging for a review. I had to find the last chapter online in order to finish the book.

    As for reviewing the content, of course it’s wonderful, it’s Dickens at his best. He would probably get a kick out of this version’s making it impossible to finish reading in order to sell me something else. He knew avarice when he saw it.

    Here are the typos: Pg. 387, M r. Micawber (SPACE), Pg. 468, coming to speak to HER herself on (HER), Pg. 563, Mrs.. Gummidge (multiple periods and space), Pg. 1142 - 1144, Mr. jorkins (J is not capitalized, numerous times), Pg. 1508, Mr. james’s (J is not capitalized), & Pg. 1929, I forgive her her bad conduct (duplicate HER). Please fix the errors. It is a classic Dickens’ novel, long but worth the effort.

    This is my forth reading since my childhood and remains a compelling novel!
  • Read it when you are older.

    Not a book to be read by young students. Should be read when the reader has some years and life experience under his/her belt. Then one can really appreciate it.
