Om denne lydbog
The endearing story of David Copperfield's endeavor to become the hero of his own life, with its intriguing correspondence to the author's own life, has delighted readers for generations. Dickens himself called this book his "favourite child," and it is his most quoted novel. Now you can have the pleasure of hearing Patrick Tull's brilliant narration of Dickens beloved classic. Listen as David recounts the experiences of his rise to successful novelist-his wretched boyhood , the drudgery of his various jobs, his marriage to the boss' pretty daughter, his flight to the continent, and finally, a reunion with his true love. Tull's marvelously resonant voice ushers us smoothly through young David's trials. His ability to move deftly between different accents gives new life to some of the best-known characters in all of literature. Dora, Uriah Heep, and Mr. Micawber. Close your eyes and soon you'll find yourself sitting in a little Victorian parlor listening as David tells his story.

Om forfatteren
Charles Dickens, perhaps the best British novelist of the Victorian era, was born in Portsmouth, Hampshire, England on February 7, 1812. His happy early childhood was interrupted when his father was sent to debtors' prison, and young Dickens had to go to work in a factory at age twelve. Later, he took jobs as an office boy and journalist before publishing essays and stories in the 1830s. His first novel, The Pickwick Papers, made him a famous and popular author at the age of twenty-five. Subsequent works were published serially in periodicals and cemented his reputation as a master of colorful characterization, and as a harsh critic of social evils and corrupt institutions. His many books include Oliver Twist, David Copperfield, Bleak House, Great Expectations, Little Dorrit, A Christmas Carol, and A Tale of Two Cities. Dickens married Catherine Hogarth in 1836, and the couple had nine children before separating in 1858 when he began a long affair with Ellen Ternan, a young actress. Despite the scandal, Dickens remained a public figure, appearing often to read his fiction. He died in 1870, leaving his final novel, The Mystery of Edwin Drood, unfinished.
