This free ebook of Bleak House by Charles Dickens has been specially formatted from the 1853 edition to suit all ereaders.
Originally published in serial form from 1852-1853, the plots and subplots of Bleak House centre on a lengthy court case regarding a disputed inheritance. Despite the name, and the seemingly dry subject matter, it is a funny and emotional novel. Like so many of Dickens’ works, there’s a strong emphasis on injustice, this time perpetrated by the convolutions of the legal system.
The one great principle of the English law is to make business for itself. There is no other principle distinctly, certainly, and consistently maintained through all its narrow turnings. Viewed by this light it becomes a coherent scheme and not the monstrous maze the laity are apt to think it. Let them but once clearly perceive that its grand principle is to make business for itself at their expense, and surely they will cease to grumble.
Bleak House is considered by many to be Charles Dickens’ masterpiece.
