When his father suddenly dies, Nicholas Nickleby is sent by his uncle to Dotheboys Hall to work as a teacher, but when Nicholas discovers that the headmaster, Wackford Squeers, maliciously bullies the students, he must decide whether to stay, or leave and allow his uncle to cut off support for his family.

Su questo libro

L'autore:

Charles Dickens was born in 1812 near Portsmouth where his father worked as a clerk. In 1832 young Charles became a journalist and his work brought him into close contact with the grimmer facets of society. Before long he began to contribute to the Monthly Magazine using the pseudonym Boz. He wrote his first novel, Pickwick Papers, in 1836. This was a tremendous success and set him on to become one of Britain's greatest novelists. Thirteen further novels followed including David Copperfield, Great Expectations, A Tale of Two Cities, and Bleak House. He died in 1870, leaving his last novel, The Mystery of Edwin Drood, unfinished.
