Summary

One of Dickens’ earlier novels, dating from 1839, it charts the fortunes of an honorable young man, Nicholas Nickleby, who has set out to make his way in the world. Dickens presents his remarkably vivid display of Victorian characters and the life they lead, from the generous to the fated to the crushed. Hope springs eternal, however, and righteous persistence brings rewards.

I think this reading was probably among the best I’ve heard and certainly my favourite. It brings all of Dickens’ eccentrics and ‘gargoyles’ to life. Horovitch seems to inhabit the characters and makes easy work of the author’s at times long and complex sentences. His diction is perfect and storytelling superb. Dickens is prone to sweeten and shape characters to make a melodramatic impact; however, this is balanced by, at times, dark and inhuman behaviours. A really good listen.

An outstanding performance

Thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this book by Charles Dickens. So cleverly written with so much humour! and so much emotion. I loved the characters of Nicholas, so kind and generous natured, and his sister Kate too. Loved Newman Noggs, so dry, sarcastic and whitty! Charles Dickens was pure genius and love every book of his I have read so far. The Narrator David Horovitch read this book so brilliantly, such a lovely rich voice that kept me interested all the way though. And his voice for John Browdie!! so funny! Made me laugh so much every time I heard it! Highly recommend this book! And I've shed tears when it ended, which is the sign of such a good book! Thank you Charles Dickens and thank you David Horovitch.
