Charles Dickens
1849
Translated by P. (Paul) Lorain
A novel written in the mid-19th century. The book follows the life of David Copperfield, exploring his journey from childhood to adulthood as he navigates the complexities of family, personal identity, and social class. Central characters include David's mother, Peggotty, and his formidable great-aunt, Miss Betsy Trotwood, who play significant roles in his formative years. The opening of the novel introduces David Copperfield at the moment of his birth, establishing a tone of reflection and foreshadowing the challenges he will face. David recounts the circumstances surrounding his arrival into the world, including the death of his father and the presence of his domineering aunt. He paints a vivid picture of his early life with his kind mother and loyal nurse, Peggotty, setting the stage for the relationships and events that will shape his character. As David remembers these formative experiences, he highlights the juxtaposition of warmth and adversity that will accompany him throughout his journey.
