Informationen zum Autor Charles Dickens (1812-70) was born in Portsmouth, and grew up in Kent and London. He began contributing to periodicals in his twenties, publishing his first book in 1836. He published magazines and serialised novels throughout his career, achieving international fame for his writing and public readings. David Copperfield was first published as a serial between 1849 and 1850, and as a book in 1850. Armando Iannucci co-wrote THE DAY TODAY and the various Alan Partridge programmes for BBC including the BAFTA award-winning last series. He hosts his own show - SATURDAY NIGHT ARMISTICE and also writes a regular column in the GUARDIAN. Klappentext 'This is no dusty relic, but instead something sparkling and modern' Armando Iannucci In a wildly eventful life, David Copperfield moves from the cruelty of his stepfather's care to the heights of success as a beloved and respected novelist. On his journey through Victorian society, he endures bitter treatment as a labourer, wins the approval of his formidable aunt, finds himself an education - and a career, falls in love, and expands his circle of acquaintance to include true, false and marvellously eccentric friends. Dickens's own favourite among his novels, The Personal History of David Copperfield is a classic of comedy and tragedy that never ceases to surprise and delight. Published alongside Armando Iannucci's new film, The Personal History of David Copperfield , starring Dev Patel, Hugh Laurie, Peter Capaldi, Tilda Swinton and Ben Whishaw.
