Nicholas Nickleby

'The pain of parting is nothing to the joy of meeting again.'

Originally published in monthly instalments from 1838 to 1839, Nicholas Nickleby is one of Dickens's earlier novels, renowned for its comic flair and cutting commentary on social injustice.

Nicholas Nickleby, a young man with a comfortable lifestyle in Devonshire, suddenly finds his life upturned when his father passes away after losing all his money in a poor investment. In the wake of his death, Nicholas, his mother and younger sister are forced to travel to London to seek refuge from their only living relative, but to no avail: Uncle Ralph despises Nicholas at first sight, and has no wish to help his family. What ensues is Nicholas's desperate attempts to support his family, no matter what the cost. Episodic in style and as devastating as it is dramatic, this novel demonstrates Dickens at his finest. This audio edition is compellingly brought to life by the talented narrator David Rintoul. Charles Dickens (1812 – 1870) was an English writer and social critic. He is regarded by many as the greatest novelist of the Victorian era. His works enjoyed unprecedented popularity during his lifetime and, by the twentieth century, critics and scholars had recognized him as a literary genius. His novels and short stories are widely read, performed and adapted today.
