Synopsis

The malignantly treacherous Uriah Heep, the jovial nurse Peggoty, the foolishly innocent Dora, the improvident Mr. Micawber, and the egoistic and charming Steerforth come to life in this new adaptation of this Dickens classic. The story of the abandoned waif who develops a "disciplined heart" through challenging encounters with distress and misfortune, David Copperfield is a shining example of Dickens's skill as a storyteller. As plots and counterplots effortlessly interweave into one intricate, grand design, he captures the brightness, magic, and terror of the world as seen through the eyes of a child.
