Little Dorrit is a novel by Charles Dickens, initially distributed in sequential structure somewhere in the range of 1855 and 1857. The story highlights Amy Dorrit, most youthful offspring of her family, brought up in the Marshalsea jail for indebted individuals in London. Arthur Clennam experiences her in the wake of getting back from a 20-year nonappearance, prepared to start his life again. The novel ridicules a few weaknesses of both government and society, including the foundation of indebted individuals' jails, where borrowers were detained, incapable to work but imprisoned until they had reimbursed their obligations. The jail for this situation is the Marshalsea, where Dickens' own dad had been detained. Dickens is likewise incredulous of the feeble organization of the British government, in this original as the imaginary "Aversion Office". Dickens likewise parodies the delineation of society that outcomes from the British class framework.

Everyone should read Little Dorrit. It is a cautionary tale about the power of money (and the lack of it), its effect on those who have it (or not), and how fortunes can change in the blink of an eye. It is as relevant today as it was then.
There's also mystery, danger, and sinister darkness (with a hint of black magic) in this book. Plenty of page-turning action to keep readers engrossed.

One of the Best
The language use of Charles Dickens is unparalleled. It is so rich. Each time I read Dickens it is like enjoying a fine meal. ?Little Dorritt? is one of his finest. Without taking away the efforts of many to recreate the works of Dickens in video, it simply cannot be adequately done. The video results are entertaining, but they are not Dickens. His use of the English language of his time cannot be repeated in a film, in spite of all good intentions.
?Little Dorritt? and ?Bleak House? are two of his best and show a greater maturity than the wonderful ?David Copperfield.?
