Bleak House

A dense fog coils through the streets of London, blurring justice, morality, and human fate. In Bleak House, Charles Dickens—one of the greatest architects of the Victorian novel—turns his sharp moral vision toward the labyrinth of society, law, and personal responsibility. Writing at the height of the Industrial Age, Dickens exposed the hidden machinery of institutions and the quiet suffering they inflict, blending social observation with unforgettable storytelling. At the heart of the novel lies the interminable case of Jarndyce and Jarndyce, a legal battle that seeps into every corner of life it touches. Alongside it unfold intertwined destinies: the quiet resilience of Esther Summerson, the moral decay hidden beneath respectable façades, and the fragile hopes of characters caught between compassion and ambition. Each thread deepens the mystery without revealing its ultimate resolution. More than a story of its time, Bleak House remains strikingly relevant.
