Martin Chuzzlewit - Charles Dickens

Young Martin`s comic odyssey to the New World the naive Tom Pinch`s rite of passage from innocence to enlightenment the smooth scheming of the arch hypocrite Pecksniff the grotesque self-love of Mrs. Gamp the increasingly-desperate machinations of murderous Jonas Chuzzlewit all are portrayed with a typically Dickensian flair for unerringly accurate social satire and buoyantly extravagant characterization.
