Pages : 1172
Book Description
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.

Book Description
Featuring an appendix of discussion questions, the Diversion Classics edition is ideal for use in book groups and classrooms. Alone in a quiet New England village stands a solitary, brooding mansion with a dark past. Within its walls dwell the dwindling and doomed Pyncheon family. Descendants of Puritans, it is rumored their home and family has been cursed by a wizard unjustly put to death by the greedy Colonel Pyncheon. Since then, their family line has been choked by misfortune, poverty, and gruesome deaths. The spinster Hepzibah, one of the last Pyncheons, struggles to make ends meet, opening a cent shop on the porch of the Pyncheon home just to survive. Her existence is solitary until both the mysterious Holgrave and sweet young relative, Phoebe, from the countryside arrive, but the struggles do not end even as a strange romance blooms. Are the Pyncheon’s misfortunes mere coincidence—or has the curse come to consume them all for the greed of those who came before them?
