Charles Dickens - David Copperfield

Level – Upper – Intermediate

Plot – The book is about the growing-up of a boy, who, orphaned at an early age, experiences considerable hardship. He is ill-treated by his stepfather, Mr. Murdstone, then forced to work under appalling conditions in a London warehouse. This is a marked contrast to his idyllic early childhood, before the re-marriage and death of his gentle mother. David’s life improves greatly when he runs away from his job to seek out his Aunt, Betsey Trotwood.
