It tells the story of a young boy named David who endures a difficult childhood, facing numerous hardships and setbacks along the way. The book is a coming-of-age story that follows David as he grows up, faces adversity and ultimately finds his way in the world. Throughout the novel, Dickens addresses themes such as social class, love, loss and the importance of perseverance. The book's characters are vividly drawn, from the kind-hearted Mr Micawber to the cruel and manipulative Uriah Heep. David's relationships with these characters are central to the story, as they shape his development and help him to overcome his challenges. One of the most notable aspects of David Copperfield is its autobiographical nature. Dickens drew heavily on his own experiences and those of his family in crafting the story. As a result, the novel has a personal and emotional resonance that has helped to make it a beloved classic. David Copperfield has been adapted for film, television and stage numerous times over the years. It remains one of Dickens's most enduring works and continues to captivate readers with its richly drawn characters, intricate plot, and timeless themes.
Charles Dickens (1812-1870) nació en Portsmouth y era el primogénito varón de un funcionario de la Armada Real. A los doce años, el encarcelamiento de su padre por deudas lo obligó a ponerse a trabajar en una fábrica de betún. Su educación fue irregular: aprendió por su cuenta taquigrafía, trabajó como ayudante en el bufete de un abogado y finalmente fue corresponsal parlamentario del Morning Chronicle. Sus artículos, luego recogidos en Escenas de la vida de Londres por «Boz» (1836-1837), tuvieron gran éxito y, con la aparición en 1837 de Los papeles póstumos del Club Pickwick, Dickens se convirtió en un auténtico fenómeno editorial. Novelas como Oliver Twist (1837-1839), Nicholas Nickleby (1838-1839) o Barnaby Rudge (1841) alcanzaron enorme popularidad, así como algunas crónicas de viajes, como Estampas de Italia (1846). Con Dombey e hijo (1846-1848) inició su época de madurez, de la que son buenos ejemplos David Copperfield (1849-1850), su primera novela en primera persona y su favorita, en la que desarrolló algunos episodios autobiográficos; La Casa lúgubre (1852-1853); La pequeña Dorrit (1855-1857), Historia de dos ciudades (1859), Grandes esperanzas (1860-1861) y Nuestro amigo común (1864-1865). Murió en Gad's Hill, su casa de campo en Higham, en el condado de Kent.
