About this ebook
Martin Chuzzlewit, serialized in 1843-44, was one of Dickens' personal favorites. Featuring a colorful cast of characters, including the hypocritical Mr. Pecksniff, the disreputable Mrs. Gamp, and the evil Jonas Chuzzlewit, the novel exposes selfishness, hypocrisy, and fraud in polite society in England and America.

Author
Charles Dickens
Charles Dickens was born in 1812 and grew up in poverty. This experience influenced ‘Oliver Twist’, the second of his fourteen major novels, which first appeared in 1837. When he died in 1870, he was buried in Poets’ Corner in Westminster Abbey as an indication of his huge popularity as a novelist, which endures to this day.
