  • "Martin Chuzzlewit è un ricco anziano. Ma chi erediterà la sua ricchezza? Egli ha diseredato suo nipote, il giovane Martin, sospettato di amare Mary, infermiera e dama di compagnia di Chuzzlewit. Con una tale posta in palio, il resto della famiglia - tra cui il moccioso ipocrita Pecksniff e il meravigliosamente malvagio Jonas - tira fuori tutta l' astuzia, l' avidità e l' egoismo possibili. Mentre il nipote si mette nei guai in America, i parenti sempre più disperati finiscono con l'accerchiare il vulnerabile vecchio."

With his grandson floundering in America, these increasingly desperate relatives close in on the vulnerable old man."@en
