Bleak House (Diversion Classics) by Charles Dickens Pdf
Considered by many to be Dickens’ best work, Bleak House focuses its gaze on the British legal system, and does not flinch. A distinctly dissimilar cast of characters find their worlds intertwined by two things: a legal case, Jarndyce and Jarndyce, which has lasted so long that at least one generation of the Jarndyce family has expired since its start, and the thick fog that seems to hang over both the case and their entire lives. Brilliantly divided into two strands of narration, one the voice of orphan Esther Summerson, and one an omniscient narrator picking up the thread of haughty Lady Dedlock’s life, Dickens seamlessly draws us into the worlds of the aristocracy all the way down to the poorest of London slums. Featuring an appendix of discussion questions, this Diversion Classics edition is ideal for use in book groups and classrooms.

Vanity Fair (Diversion Classics) by William Makepeace Thackeray Pdf
Thackery’s rapier-sharp wit depicts an unforgettably entertaining portrait of 19th century London in Vanity Fair. Shunned for her lack of money and destined to live a dull life as a governess, Becky Sharp decides to take her fate in her own hands before it’s too late. Using her wit, charm, and beauty, Becky aims straight for the upper crust of society, but she can’t do it alone. Entangled in her tenacious web are a gallery of colorful characters, among them the sweet Amelia Sedley, the empty-headed Rawdon Crawly, his conservative and cold brother Pitt, and everyone’s favorite wealthy aunt, Matilda Crawley. The “novel without a hero” gives readers one perfectly imperfect character after another and is a must-read for fans of satire.

Charles Dicken’s BLEAK HOUSE is a representation of a great city's underworld, and of the law's corruption and deferment. It draws upon the author's personal knowledge and experience and is hailed as one of Dickens' finest achievements - establishing his reputation as a serious and mature novelist, as well as a brilliant comic writer. BLEAK HOUSE is simultaneously an intricate mystery novel that fully engages the reader in the work of detection, as well as an unforgettable indictment of an apathetic society. Dickens allocates the storyline between his protagonist, Esther Summerson, who is expressively interesting in her own right, and an unidentified narrator whose perspective both complements and challenges hers.
An all time classic book which is a must read for every individual and an absolute library essential. The book contains illustrations and are abridged in view of being made suitable for readers of all ages.
Bleak House opens in the twilight of foggy London, where fog grips the city most densely in the Court of Chancery. The obscure case of Jarndyce and Jarndyce, in which an inheritance is gradually devoured by legal costs, the romance of Esther Summerson and the secrets of her origin, the sleuthing of Detective Inspector Bucket and the fate of Jo the crossing-sweeper, these are some of the lives Dickens invokes to portray London society, rich and poor, as no other novelist has done.
