Part of Penguin's beautiful hardback Clothbound Classics series,
designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith, these
delectable and collectible editions are bound in high-quality
colourful, tactile cloth with foil stamped into the design. As the
interminable case of Jarndyce and Jarndyce grinds its way through
the Court of Chancery, it draws together a disparate group of
people: Ada and Richard Clare, whose inheritance is gradually being
devoured by legal costs; Esther Summerson, a ward of court, whose
parentage is a source of deepening mystery; the menacing lawyer
Tulkinghorn; the determined sleuth Inspector Bucket; and even Jo,
the destitute little crossing-sweeper. A savage, but often comic,
indictment of a society that is rotten to the core, Bleak House is
one of Dickens's most ambitious novels, with a range that extends
from the drawing rooms of the aristocracy to the poorest of London
slums.
