About this ebook
"Bleak House" is a satirical story written by Charles Dickens in 1853 and considered to be among the his best work.
"Bleak House" is the story of the Jarndyce family, who wait in vain to inherit money from a disputed fortune in the settlement of the extremely long-running lawsuit of Jarndyce and Jarndyce. The story of a number of people whose lives are consumed by a court case.
"Bleak House", like many of Dickens' writings, is about various social issues. The novel is pointedly critical of England’s Court of Chancery, in which cases could drag on through decades of convoluted legal manoeuvring.

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.
