Sinossi
"Non permetterò mai a nessuno di dire che questa è la più bella età della vita", scriveva Paul Nizan riferendosi ai suoi vent'anni e in generale al tempo della sua adolescenza. Perché quel tempo, quello durante il quale si varca il confine che separa la giovinezza dall'età adulta, è spesso feroce e terribile. Di tutto questo si rese conto Dickens quando scrisse la storia di David Copperfield, un vero e proprio inno alla dolcezza e alle amarezze intrinseche al crescere e al formarsi. Quello del protagonista è un percorso di apprendistato prima di tutto umano, a confronto con personaggi di ogni tipo, dalla stramba zia Betsey a Uriah Heep, sullo sfondo di una Londra plumbea e sulfurea.

Read as part of The Infinite Variety Reading Challenge, based on the BBC's Big Read Poll of 2003. Charles Dickens can do no wrong, except perhaps keep around 100 pages of rather irrelevant tangents in this book. It was such a powerhouse of characterisation and world-building that I barely know where t Leggi tutto

David Copperfield is a convolutedly grotesque and darkly satirical Bildungsroman. First of all, David Copperfield is a colourful collection of inimitable characters. And we pass through this flowery assembly as through the gallery of images taken from Hieronymus Bosch’s canvases… The gloomy taint that Leggi tutto
Call it an act of heresy but I’m abandoning this. I’ve got to page 600 which means I’ve only another 150 pages to go but I’ve completely lost interest. The characters are too one dimensional and you can see the plot coming as if it’s daubed in road marking paint. I’ve read all of Dickens’ novels exc Leggi tutto
