It was first published as a serial between 1837 and 1839.

This book is &nbsp;a masterpiece of literature and a brilliant example of XIX century social novel. It is steeped by a deep black sense of humour concerning thorny issues such as child labor and life in a metropolis devastated by a violent industrialization which destroys every human value. This novel has inspired many film adaptations, one by David Lean (1948), one by Carol Reed (1968), and by the Oscar-winning director Roman Polanski (2005).<br />Complete edition with reader-friendly table of contents.
