ISBN: 9798277939765 - magwitch: the gripping, untold story of dickens' gentleman convict (5 risultati)

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. "But what the devil was I to do? I must put something into my stomach, mustn't I?"Before he staggered onto the marshes in Great Expectations, Abel Magwitch lived a life far more dangerous-and far more heroic-than Pip ever knew. Born in the shadows of Victorian London and claimed by its underworld, Magwitch's earliest choices drag him into crime, betrayal, and the brutal machinery of the law. From the prison hulks to the long, punishing journey of transportation, he is a man the world intends to break. But on the goldfields of Ballarat, under a burning Australian sun, Magwitch discovers something no one expected: a chance to rise. Through grit, cunning, and sheer will, he amasses a fortune-not for himself, but for the boy who once showed him kindness. This is the untold story of Dickens's most enigmatic figure: how he fell, how he survived, and how he forged a fortune that would change both his life and Pip's forever.
