If you're someone who relishes in the intricate layering of character and society, then "Bleak House" could be a delight. Dickens is a master at exposing societal flaws through a blend of satire and tragedy. Sail through the foggy streets of Victorian London and find yourself entangled in narratives that reveal as much about the human condition as they do about the injustices of the time.

Bleak House, Dickens's most daring experiment in the narration of a complex plot, challenges the reader to make connections between the fashionable and the outcast, the beautiful and the ugly, the powerful and the victims. Nowhere in Dickens's later novels is his attack on an uncaring society more imaginatively embodied, but nowhere either is the mixture of comedy and angry satire more deftly managed.About the Series: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe.
