Bleak House, by Charles Dickens. First Edition.
Published in 1853, this first edition of the book-form copy of Bleak House directly followed its serialised publication in 1852-1853.
Celebrated not just for its intricate plot and unforgettable characters but also for its profound social commentary, Dickens masterfully weaves a narrative that critiques the inefficiencies and corruption of the British legal system, encapsulated in the long, drawn-out case of Jarndyce and Jarndyce. The novel's rich tapestry of interlinked stories and its vivid depiction of Victorian London provide a compelling exploration of class, poverty, and justice.
Presented here in a quarter moroccan leather, and with slipcase.
Some slight cracking at the spine, but otherwise a near fine copy.
