O knihe
The beautiful Nell is a thirteen-year-old orphan who lives with her grandfather in
a London bric-a-brac shop. Worried about his charge's future, the old man secretly
gambles at night in order to provide an inheritance for her, but finally loses the little
he has and is evicted from the shop by the evil hunchback and loan shark Daniel
Quilp, suffering a breakdown as a result. Forced to leave the city, the young girl is left
to take care of her grandfather and protect herself from the scheming villains who
are hot on their heels.
Dickens's fourth novel, initially serialized in his magazine Master Humprey's Clock
between 1840 and 1841, The Old Curiosity Shop proved to be a huge hit on
publication and is still regarded as one of its author's major works, featuring one of
his best-loved and most memorable heroines.
