內容簡介

Dickens's great coming-of-age novel， now in a beautiful clothbound Penguin edition

This is the novel Dickens regarded as his 'favourite child' and is considered his most autobiographical. As David recounts his experiences from childhood to the discovery of his vocation as a successful novelist， Dickens draws openly and revealingly on his own life. Among the gloriously vivid cast of characters are Rosa Dartle， Dora， Steerforth， and the 'umble Uriah Heep， along with Mr Micawber， a portrait of Dickens's own father which evokes a mixture of love， nostalgia and guilt.

Dickens's great Bildungsroman (based， in part， on his own boyhood) is a work filled with life， both comic and tragic.

Charles Dickens (1812-70) had his first， astounding success with his first novel The Pickwick Papers and never looked back. In an extraordinarily full life he wrote， campaigned and spoke on a huge range of issues， and was involved in many of the key aspects of Victorian life， by turns cajoling， moving and irritating. He completed fourteen full-length novels and volume after volume of journalism. Of all his many works， he called David Copperfield his 'favourite child'.

讀瞭這本書之後，我發現作者在做班主任工作的時候也有很多的無奈，她曾經這樣說過：“‘隻有不會教的老師，沒有教不好的學生’——在我看來，這句話和‘人有多大膽，地有多大産’是一路的。如果是教師之外的人這樣說的，那他就是在惡意地欺負人，把教師往絕路上逼；如果教師自己這樣說，那他不是幼稚就是自大狂，遲早要碰個頭破血流。我曾經屬於後一類。那時，我處於極度危險的境地。”看薛老師這些話，你能覺得這是一個真實的老師，她說的話就象是鄰居嘮傢常那樣真誠自然。對於書中她大膽、直率的言辭，我很欽佩，不是每個人都有這種膽識、思維的。她能把一件看似簡單慣常的事情剖析提頭頭是道，透過瞭錶象看到瞭它的內在根源。她有勇氣把一些不同與大傢都說的話寫在紙上，讓彆人看，雖然多數人心理或許也如她所想。但憑這一點兒，就讓人佩服至極。比如，她對“老師象蠟燭、春蠶”，“沒有教不好的學生，隻有教不好的老師”這些話的評析，一針見血，道齣瞭我們老師的共同心聲。之所以造就瞭她感說真話，敢於抵製一切不利於學生成長和進步的製度。因為薛老師的人生信念就是：缺乏真誠、理性和趣味的日子是不值得過的。教育教學中有瞭平衡愉悅的心態，正確的定位和良好的策略，纔能在飽滿熱情中，在正確策略中扶植學生嚮上?

很好的書，企鵝齣版的書真的太精美瞭！

名著。企鵝的書，質量有保證，不會齣現錯彆字。印刷清晰。沒有插圖。字大小還可以，在企鵝經典書版本裏算較大的瞭。書沒塑封，上麵一側看上去有些髒，要是有塑封就好瞭。價格實惠。

這套書明明有塑封，發過來的沒有，封麵還髒，忘記拍圖，買的書友，慎重。我已經遇見好多次沒塑封的情況瞭。

印刷非常贊..........
