«Nicholas Nickleby» is the classic novel by Charles Dickens, published by Penguin Classics in paperback (816 pages, in English).
After the death of his father, Nicholas Nickleby asks his uncle Ralph for help to protect his mother and sister, but he proves ruthless. On his path he encounters the cruel schoolmaster Wackford Squeers, the orphan Smike, and a picturesque theatrical world, in a novel that combines satire, comedy, and denunciation of Victorian social injustice.
The work belongs to the Penguin Popular Classics collection; this edition was published in 1994. The novel was originally published in serial form between 1838 and 1839.
Suitable for readers interested in the Victorian novel, classic English fiction, and nineteenth-century social satire.
