Meer over het boek

Set against the backdrop of a grim Victorian London, the narrative critiques the economic system and social hierarchies of the time. Through its exploration of characters driven by greed and moral corruption, it highlights the superficiality of "respectable" society. The story reveals how individuals pursue wealth through unethical means, exposing the darker side of human nature and societal values. Dickens' last novel serves as a powerful commentary on the lust for money and the moral decay it fosters within the community.
