Jahrhunderts gegen Armut, Gewalt und Ausbeutung behaupten muss – und dabei auf eine Welt voller Kriminalität, Mitgefühl und überraschender Wendungen trifft. Dickens verbindet bewegendes Einzelschicksal mit scharfer Gesellschaftskritik und zeichnet ein packendes Bild des viktorianischen Englands – von düsteren Armenhäusern bis zu den glänzenden Salons der Reichen.

Entre émotion et ironie, il tisse une chronique où la précarité, la convoitise et l’espérance s’affrontent.
