Kleine Dorrit

Book cover
By: (1812-1870)

Kleine Dorrit is a beautiful novel written by Charles Dickens that explores the intricacies of life in Victorian London. The story follows the life of Amy Dorrit, also known as "Little Dorrit", who grows up in the Marshalsea debtor's prison where her father is incarcerated. Despite her difficult circumstances, Amy remains kind-hearted and selfless, always putting others before herself.

Dickens' writing is rich in detail, capturing the social injustices and inequalities of the time. The characters are vividly drawn, from the benevolent Mr. Clennam to the conniving Mrs. Merdle. Through their interactions, Dickens paints a vivid portrait of society and human nature.

The novel is not just a social critique, but also a touching love story as Amy navigates her feelings for the enigmatic Arthur Clennam. Their relationship is fraught with obstacles, but their love ultimately prevails in the end.

Kleine Dorrit is a timeless classic that offers both insight into 19th-century England and a moving story of love, redemption, and perseverance. Dickens' masterful storytelling and keen observations make this a must-read for fans of classic literature.

Book Description:

De familie Dorrit verblijft door schulden belast meer dan 20 jaar in de schuldengevangenis de Marshalsea in Londen. Zullen zij ontlast worden van hun schulden? Zullen de heldin en de ridder op het witte paard met elkaar trouwen in dit inktzwarte sprookje?

Een satire op rijkdom, status en macht waarbij zowel de publieke-(politieke) als de private- (financiele) sector belachelijk worden gemaakt. Bijna alle personages zijn gevangen in hun eigen verslaving aan waardeloos geld en valse roem. Helaas heeft dit boek niets aan actualiteitswaarde verloren, want luidruchtigheid en begeerigheid, aanmatiging, hoogmoed en ijdelheid bijven voortwoekeren tot de laatste dag.
