Bleak House
Audio Cassette
(New Millenium Audio July 1, 2001)
, Abridged Edition
Perhaps the finest novel of nineteenth century England, Bleak House embodies artful narrative, an engaging cast of characters, biting satire, and a detailed depiction of Victorian society. This is all brought to life by Paul Scofield, one of Britain's most distinguished actors. He won an Academy Award for his portral of Sir thomas more in A Man for All Seasons, a role he originated on stage. Dickens pursues two great themes: the murky institutional fog that darkens and cripples all of England, symbolized by the endless litigation of the Jarndyce v. Jarndyce case in the High Court of Chancery. The story that carries these themes takes the form of a compelling mystery, a romantic tangle of trails followed by three vivid sleuths. A mystery wrapped in social commentary makes Bleak House a story well worth investigating.
