"David Copperfield" is the eighth work of Charles Dickens. He once declared unabashedly: "There is no child born from my imagination that I do not love... But, like many partial parents, deep in my heart, there is A very beloved child, his name is "David Copperfield". "As soon as the novel came out, it received rave reviews and has been praised throughout history. Masters such as Tolstoy, Maugham, Dostoyevsky, and Marx all highly praised it.
"David Copperfield" reveals the true face of society at that time on multiple levels through the joys and sorrows of the life of the posthumous son David, highlighting the corrosive effect of money on marriage, family and society. Murderstone defrauded David's mother into marrying because he coveted her property; Emily's elopement was because she could not withstand the temptation of money; the pain of the Wakefield family and Ham's despair were all the consequences of money. And Xiura also fell step by step under the temptation of money, and finally ended up in life imprisonment. It is from the perspective of humanism that Dickens lashes out against the ills of capitalist society and yearns for the world to become a paradise with moral order and full of humanity, thereby lifting the curtain of the Victorian age and revealing the social truth hidden behind it.
Reader comments
This biographical novel is well worth reading! Although it is relatively long, the story has twists and turns, rich content, clear narrative context, ups and downs in the structure, and is fascinating. It is recommended that friends who have time can calm down and slowly appreciate this masterpiece!
I only have a few chapters left to finish, but I think the classic is worthy of being a classic. After reading it, I have endless aftertaste. The protagonist: David Copperfield, and several emotional histories, such as childhood, adolescence, and adulthood [smile][smile][smile][smile]
World famous books
The story has twists and turns, vividly showing the glory and darkness of human nature, and also creating many vivid characters.
I like the role of my aunt the most. The image of my aunt in the beginning is very impressive. Later, she helps David without hesitation and gives him warmth and happiness. Her unique behavior and the fact that she always talks about David's "sister" add a lot of interest to the story [laughs and cries]
Also, the translation of some content feels weird.
It is worthy of being a masterpiece. It describes the shameless calculations of the Murdstone siblings from the perspective of their childhood. Clara's weakness and brainlessness are shown appropriately. The character is shown through the plot. It is so immersive that I can't wait to walk into the book and wake up Clara! ! ! !
Relying on you has become second nature to me. And my first nature is to love you
This book is very real. It reveals the dark side of society and reminds me of some people and things in real life. As the book says, money has a really great corrosive effect on marriage, family and society. We must cherish the people around us and not be blinded by money. I think this book is not only suitable for adults, but also for children to understand the complexity of society. All in all, this is a very meaningful book and worth reading.
Dickens looked at the world from a child's perspective. His father died young and his kind mother was deceived by the treacherous Murderstone. This cast a shadow on David's young mind. It was a bit painful to read. I tried hard to integrate myself into the novel. This novel tells us about a child who has experienced persecution and embarks on the path of self-growth.
I have finished reading it and followed Copperfield through the first half of his life.
World classic, literary masterpiece
Good-looking, good-looking, really good-looking
Just writing is enough for me to study for a lifetime
I finished reading this masterpiece in junior high school, and recently came back to review it on a whim. The characters in the story have distinctive personalities, the plot is rich, and it is very readable.
Dickens's classic work "David Copperfield" is an inevitable book to understand Dickens - because this is Dickens's "favorite child".
