About This Item

Leipzig, (Teubner for) J. J. Weber, 1843-44. With 40 steel-engravings after drawings by Phiz (i.e. Hablot Knight Browne). Small 8vo. Contemp. half dark brown morocco, spines with romantic gilt decoration and gilt lettering. Leipzig, (Teubner for) J. J. Weber, 1843-44. " Boz' sämmtliche Werke". German edition of "The Life and Adventures of Martin Chuzzlewit" (1843-44), the last of Dickens picaresque novels. The translation is by Edward Aubry Moriarty (1819-1874) and presumably follows the second English edition (1844), also in three volumes and with the illustrations by H. K. Browne (1815-1882). In 1842, Dickens (1812-1870) started his first journey to the USA, having promised his publisher to produce a travel account and a novel. He was disappointed, the country and its people did not live up to his idealistic expectations. The protagonist of his novel, Martin, emigrates to the States and ends up working for a corrupt company. The book was not received well in America since it portrayed American society and its life in an exaggerated satirical way. - KNLL IV, 642; Thieme/Becker V, 88.
