David Copperfield

An Apple Books Classic edition.

Charles Dickens’ best-loved novel among his own works, the ever-so-slightly autobiographical David Copperfield is a defining story of growth, resilience, and the search for belonging, told with warmth and wit.

As a young boy, David has his peaceful life shattered when his widowed mother marries the strict and domineering Edward Murdstone. Abused and then sent away to a harsh boarding school, he finds himself practically alone in the world after a devastating loss. His journey carries him from poverty and exploitation to friendship and love, with each step bringing him closer to discovering his own voice as a writer.

Filled with unforgettable characters like the formidable Betsey Trotwood and the swindler Uriah Heep, David Copperfield brims with laughter, heartbreak, and self-transformation.
