{"product_id":"the-life-and-adventures-af-martin-chuzzlewitt-charles-dickens","title":"The Life and Adventures of Martin Chuzzlewitt (Charles Dickens)","description":"\u003cem\u003eThe Life and Adventures of Martin Chuzzlewit\u003c\/em\u003e is a novel by Charles Dickens, considered the last of his picaresque novels. It was originally serialised between 1842 and 1844. While he was writing it Dickens told a friend that he thought it was his best work, but it was one of his least popular novels.\n\nLike nearly all of Dickens’s novels, Martin Chuzzlewit was first published in monthly instalments. Early sales of the monthly parts were disappointing, compared to previous works, so Dickens changed the plot to send the title character to the United States. Dickens had visited America in 1842 in part as a failed attempt to get the US publishers to honour copyright laws. He satirized the country as a place filled with self-promoting hucksters, eager to sell land sight unseen. In later editions, and in his second visit 24 years later to a much-changed US, he made clear it was satire and not a balanced image of the nation in a speech and then included that speech in all future editions.\n\nThe main theme of the novel, according to Dickens’s preface, is selfishness, portrayed in a satirical fashion using all the members of the Chuzzlewit family. The novel is also notable for two of Dickens’s great villains, Seth Pecksniff and Jonas Chuzzlewit. Dickens introduced the first private detective character in this novel. It is dedicated to Angela Georgina Burdett-Coutts, a friend of Dickens.\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarning:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unlike most of the books in our store, this book is in English.\n\u003cstrong\u003eUyarı:\u003c\/strong\u003e Agora Bilim Pazarı'ndaki diğer birçok kitabın aksine, bu kitap İngilizcedir.","brand":"Panama","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47957405401343,"sku":"SB-B-000568","price":550.0,"currency_code":"TRY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0773\/8287\/7439\/files\/63e50595a6ac0c26a2e065c85e2cdb0d.jpg?v=1778921670","url":"https:\/\/agora.evrimagaci.org\/products\/the-life-and-adventures-af-martin-chuzzlewitt-charles-dickens","provider":"Agora Bilim Pazarı","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
