Of all Dickens's novels, DAVID COPPERFIELD most fervently embraces the ccmic delights, the tender warmth, the tragic horrors of childhood. It is our classic tale of growing up, an enchanting story of a gentle orphan discovering life and love in an indifferent adult world. Persecuted by his wrathful stepfather, Mr.Murdstone; deceived by his boyhood idol, the callous,charming Steerforth; driven into moral combat with the sniveling clerk Uriah Heep; and hurled, pell-mell into a blizzard of infatuation with the adorably dim-witted Dora, he survives the worst--and the best--with inimitable style, his bafflement turning to self-awareness and his unbridlee young heart growing ever more disciplined and true.
