Synopsis

In a small town where routine is law and faith rules all, a mysterious stranger appears. No one knows where he came from or what he wants, but his presence carries an air of mystery and a tempting promise: absolute knowledge.

With mesmerizing words and seemingly impossible tricks, the stranger captivates three young boys, who become fascinated by his apparent magic. But as they delve deeper into his secrets, they begin to question the truths they've always known. Is he a divine messenger or something far more sinister?

The Mysterious Stranger is one of Mark Twain's final and most provocative works, a story that challenges faith, morality, and the very nature of reality.

    David Copperfield is a novel by Charles Dickens, first published in serial form between 1849 and 1850 and later as a complete book in 1850. It is widely regarded as one of Dickens's most beloved works and is often considered semi-autobiographical, reflecting many aspects of the author's own life. The story is narrated by the titular character, David Copperfield, who recounts his journey from childhood to adulthood. 
    David Copperfield is born in Blunderstone, Suffolk, six months after his father's death. His early years are spent in relative happiness with his mother, Clara, and their devoted housekeeper, Peggotty. This idyllic childhood is shattered when Clara marries the cruel Mr. Edward Murdstone, who imposes a strict regime on the household alongside his equally harsh sister. After a series of abusive encounters, David is sent away to Salem House, a boarding school run by the sadistic Mr. Creakle.
