Penguin Classics reveals the audiobook version of Martin Chuzzlewit, an account of inheritance and destiny and the storyplot Dickens considered his best. Read by John Wells. The greed of his family has led rich old Martin Chuzzlewit to become dubious and misanthropic, going out of his grandson and namesake to make his own way in the world. Therefore young Martin models right out of the Wiltshire home of his meant champ, the scheming architect Pecksniff, to get his fortune in the us. In depicting Martin's quest - an experience that educates him to question his inherited self-interest and egotism - Dickens created many vividly understood results: the brutish lout Jonas Chuzzlewit, plotting to get the family fortune; Martin's optimistic manservant, Tag Tapley; delicate Tom Pinch; and the drunken and corrupt private nurse, Mrs Gamp. Using its portrayal of greed, blackmail and murder, and its own searing satire on America Dickens' book is a powerful and blackly comic history of hypocrisy and redemption. Component of some abridged, vintage recordings extracted from the Penguin Archives. Affordable, collectable, quality productions - perfect for on-the-go listening.
