Martin Chuzzlewit
Résumé
"Martin Chuzzlewit" by Charles Dickens is a novel serialized between 1843 and 1844. This satirical tale explores selfishness through the quarrelsome Chuzzlewit family. When young Martin clashes with his wealthy grandfather over love, he's cast out and apprenticed to the scheming architect Pecksniff. As family members maneuver for inheritance, villains emerge and a journey to America unfolds. Featuring memorable characters like the hypocritical Pecksniff and the notorious Mrs. Gamp, this picaresque adventure weaves deception, romance, and dark schemes into Dickens's sharp social commentary.
