Kleine Dorrit

Kleine Dorrit

by Charles Dickens

In het hart van Londen, bevindt zich de Marshalsea, een gevangenis voor schuldenaren. De familie Dorrit, geleid door de eerbiedwaardige, maar naïeve William Dorrit, heeft meer dan twintig jaar in deze duistere plek doorgebracht. Hun leven, geteisterd door armoede en de vernedering van hun situatie, wordt op zijn kop gezet wanneer een onverwachte erfenis hen de kans biedt op vrijheid. De roman volgt de reis van Amy Dorrit, een jonge vrouw die opgroeit in de gevangenis, en haar zoektocht naar liefde, geluk en haar eigen identiteit. Tegelijkertijd belicht Dickens de onrechtvaardigheid van het sociale systeem, de beklemmende kracht van armoede en de verdorvenheid van rijkdom. Met scherpe satire en meeslepende personages, onthult 'Kleine Dorrit' de complexiteit van de menselijke natuur en de universele zoektocht naar vrijheid en waardigheid.
