Greed has led wealthy old Martin Chuzzlewit to become suspicious and
misanthropic, leaving his grandson and name-sake to make his own way in the
world. And so young Martin sets out from the Wiltshire home of his supposed
champion, the scheming architect Pecksniff, to seek his fortune in America. In
depicting Martin's journey Dickens created many vividly realized figures, from
Martin's optimistic manservant Mark Tapley to the drunken and corrupt private
nurse Mrs Gamp. With its portrayal of greed, blackmail and murder, and its
searing satire on America, Dickens's novel is a powerful and blackly comic
story of hypocrisy and redemption. ©2020 Pandora's Box (P)2020 Pandora's Box
