The famous novel "The Life of David Copperfield" by the great English writer Charles Dickens has won the love and recognition of readers all over the world. Largely autobiographical, this novel tells about the fate of a boy forced to fight alone against a cruel, dreary world populated by evil teachers, mercenary manufacturers and soulless servants of the law. In this unequal war, David can only be saved by moral firmness, purity of heart and an extraordinary talent that can turn a dirty ragamuffin into the greatest writer in England. In this edition, the text of the novel is accompanied by brilliant illustrations by the Soviet artist Grigory Filippovsky (1909-1987).
