  "Whether I shall turn out to be the hero of my own life, or whether that station will be held by anybody else, these pages must show."
  
  Follow the life of David Copperfield from his idyllic childhood in Blunderstone to the harsh realities of a London bottling factory and his eventual rise as a successful author. Dickens weaves a sprawling narrative of hardship and triumph, populated by a cast of characters so vivid they have become archetypes of the English language.
  
  A Tapestry of Human Experience: Experience the warmth of the Peggotty family living in their upturned boat-house on the Yarmouth sands, and endure the chilling cruelty of the stepfather, Mr. Murdstone. Witness the eternal optimism of the debt-ridden Mr. Micawber—always waiting for "something to turn up"—and the "umblemished" villainy of the "umble" Uriah Heep.
  
  The Personal Masterpiece: David Copperfield is Dickens at the height of his powers, blending humor, pathos, and social critique. It explores the complexities of marriage, the cruelty of child labor, and the importance of perseverance. More than a story of one man, it is a grand observation of the Victorian era, filled with the "discipline of the heart" that transforms a boy into a man of character.
  
  A journey of a thousand memories. Purchase "David Copperfield" today and discover the heart and soul of Dickensian literature.

  In England the Victorian Age was about to become the past and a new age of worldwide wars of horror and slaughter would envelop and decimate generations, forever staining mankind.   
   
  The Century would see the World discover strengths. The Democracies would stand firm against Fascism and later Communism yet still keep its own elite and privileged in power and the rest of us underfoot. 
   
  The World was more connected than ever before.  Culture accelerated its kaleidoscopic and interwoven journey. Transport delivered people by car and train and then aeroplane to far flung corners of the globe.  Empires were at their zenith and ready to fragment with new nations, many troubled, rising from their decay. 
   
  The natural world continued to be plundered and pillaged for its resources by industries who pledged ‘more’ and ‘better’ and would clothe and feed a growing world yet sow the seeds now ready to devastate us in our current times. 
   
  The globe was as vibrant and violent as troubled and tarnished as it ever was.  But new ideas, new political systems, new times changed everything once again.
