Martin Chuzzlewit (1844)
Blurb (B1 English level):
Martin Chuzzlewit is a young man from a proud family. His grandfather is rich, and many greedy relatives pretend to love him to get his money. Martin, who is clever but a little selfish, leaves home after an argument and tries to live on his own.
At first he works with a kind architect, Mr Pecksniff, but soon discovers that Pecksniff is false and dishonest. Angry and
disappointed, Martin travels to America to start a new life. There he faces hard times, sickness, and loneliness, and begins to understand what truly matters in life.
When he finally returns to England, Martin is wiser and kinder. Through humour, travel, and family drama, Dickens shows that real happiness comes from honesty, love, and helping others — not from money.
