About this book

Bleak House is one of Charles Dickens's greatest and most ambitious novels, published in monthly parts between 1852 and 1853. At its heart lies Jarndyce and Jarndyce, a lawsuit over a disputed will that has dragged through the Court of Chancery so long that it has ruined lives and enriched only the lawyers. Around this case Dickens weaves a huge cast, from the orphan Esther Summerson, who narrates half the book, to the proud Lady Dedlock hiding a secret, the sinister lawyer Tulkinghorn, and the doomed crossing-sweeper Jo. It is at once a mystery, a love story, and a furious attack on a legal system that devours the very people it claims to serve. This free PDF and EPUB gives you the complete novel.
