内容简介

Dickens's great coming-of-age novel， now in a beautiful clothbound Penguin edition

This is the novel Dickens regarded as his 'favourite child' and is considered his most autobiographical. As David recounts his experiences from childhood to the discovery of his vocation as a successful novelist， Dickens draws openly and revealingly on his own life. Among the gloriously vivid cast of characters are Rosa Dartle， Dora， Steerforth， and the 'umble Uriah Heep， along with Mr Micawber， a portrait of Dickens's own father which evokes a mixture of love， nostalgia and guilt.

Dickens's great Bildungsroman (based， in part， on his own boyhood) is a work filled with life， both comic and tragic.

Charles Dickens (1812-70) had his first， astounding success with his first novel The Pickwick Papers and never looked back. In an extraordinarily full life he wrote， campaigned and spoke on a huge range of issues， and was involved in many of the key aspects of Victorian life， by turns cajoling， moving and irritating. He completed fourteen full-length novels and volume after volume of journalism. Of all his many works， he called David Copperfield his 'favourite child'.

前言/序言

　Dickens's great coming-of-age novel， now in a beautiful clothbound Penguin edition

这是一个美丽的世界，亲爱的孩子，那是我赠送给你的银器，只是你忘了拿。善良的主教，是你，拯救了一个愤世嫉俗的可怜人，将他从黑夜的阴影带入了光明世界。

《坎特伯雷故事》是一部诗体故事集，大部分以韵诗形式写成。全书收有一篇总引和二十三篇故事，其中散文两篇，其余都是诗体。讲述了一群香客到坎特伯雷城去朝圣的路上，为解闷而各人所说的奇异故事。这群人来自社会各阶层，有教士、武士、修女、大学生、工匠等等，他们的故事也广泛地反映了当时的社会风貌。作品以幽默和讽刺为基调，刻画了不同阶层的人物，讽刺封建社会的丑恶，揭露社会的腐朽，反对禁欲主义，宣扬世俗享乐。其间以短小的戏剧场面串连，故事的内容和文体各异，并符合每一个讲述者的身份。作品生动地描绘了十四世纪英国的社会生活，体现了反封建倾向和人文主义思想
