Around the central story of Nicholas Nickleby and the misfortunes of his family, Dickens created some of his most wonderful characters: the muddle-headed Mrs Nickleby, the gloriously theatrical Crummles, their protege Miss Petowker, the pretentious Mantalinis and the mindlessly cruel Squeers and his wife. NICHOLAS NICKLEBY's loose, haphazard progress harks back to the picaresque novels of the 18th century - particularly those of Smollett and Fielding. Yet the novel's exuberant atmosphere of romance, adventure and freedom is overshadowed by Dickens' awareness of social ills and financial and class insecurity.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48128390234270,"sku":"UBD-9780140435122","price":26.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780140435122.jpg?v=1786540040","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780140435122","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
