Martin Chuzzlewit - Wordsworth Classics
"But charity begins at home, and justice begins next door." Martin Chuzzlewit, 1844
'Martin Chuzzlewit' is one of Charles Dickens’s major novels, focusing on selfishness, hypocrisy, and moral regeneration. The story revolves around old Martin Chuzzlewit, a wealthy but suspicious man who tests the integrity of his relatives and dependents, most of whom are greedy and scheming for his fortune. Old Martin Chuzzlewit, tormented by this greed effectively drives his grandson, young Martin, to undertake a voyage to America. It is a voyage which will have crucial consequences not only for young Martin, but also for his grandfather and his grandfather's servant, Mary Graham with whom young Martin is in love.
