• Used Book in Good Condition

<p>Amy Dorrit€s father is not very good with money. She was born in the Marshalsea debtors€ prison and has lived there with her family for all of her twenty-two years, only leaving during the day to work as a seamstress for the forbidding Mrs. Clennam. But Amy€s fortunes are about to change: the arrival of Mrs. Clennam€s son Arthur, back from working in China, heralds the beginning of stunning revelations not just about Amy but also about Arthur himself.<br><br>Of the complex, richly rewarding masterworks he wrote in the last decade of his life, <i>Little Dorrit</i> is the book in which Charles Dickens most fully unleashed his indignation at the fallen state of mid-Victorian society. Crammed with persons and incidents in whose recreation nothing is accidental or spurious, containing, in its picture of the Circumlocution Office, the most witheringly exact satire of a bureaucracy we possess, <i>Little Dorrit</i> is a stunning example of how thoroughly Dickens could put his flair for the theatrical and his comic genius the service of his passion for justice.<br><br>(Book Jacket Status: Not Jacketed)</p>
