Martin Chuzzlewit (1843-44) is the last of Dickens' picaresque novels, and to the author's mind, one of his best. After being disinherited by his grandfather--greedy and misanthropic in his old age--young Martin is forced to live by his wits. Along the way, he encounters a villainous architect, seeks his fortune in America and eventually grows to be a man of honor and character. Martin Chuzzlewit features some of Dickens richest creations and fiercest social commentary.
