About this book

In an era marked by stark social divides and the burgeoning industrial revolution, "Little Dorrit" by Charles Dickens unveils the harsh realities of poverty and systemic injustice. At the heart of the narrative lies the Marshalsea debtors' prison, a poignant symbol of societal failure, where Amy Dorrit, affectionately known as Little Dorrit, navigates the complexities of her family's financial ruin. Dickens masterfully critiques the indifference of the wealthy elite and the suffocating bureaucracy that entraps the vulnerable. This compelling novel is essential for students and civic activists seeking to understand the interplay of class and morality in Victorian England. Dive into "Little Dorrit" to explore the depths of human resilience against the backdrop of a society in turmoil.
