Martin Chuzzlewit by Charles Dickens (Vol.1)

Volume One: The Fall of the Hypocrite
A Charles Dickens Satire — Reimagined for the Modern Reader

In Martin Chuzzlewit, Charles Dickens delivers a bold satire of selfishness, hypocrisy, and moral decay disguised as virtue. The story begins with a family poised for inheritance, a proud young man set on forging his path, and a fall that comes not from fate—but from character.

This first volume follows Martin’s descent: disinherited by his grandfather, exiled by his own pride, and sent across the ocean to a place that mirrors the very flaws he hoped to escape. Along the way, we meet Pecksniff in all his oily grandeur, Montague Tigg as he reinvents himself into a gentleman of crime, and Tom Pinch, whose quiet decency anchors the entire book.

This Red Spine Edition revives Dickens’s overlooked masterpiece with the context, clarity, and curatorial care it deserves. It’s a tale that simmers rather than shouts—a novel that holds a mirror up to our most flattering lies, and then gently turns it.

Part of The Red Spine Collection, this volume belongs to a curated library of 100 essential classics—each revived with elegance, editorial insight, and a collector’s touch.

Come for the satire. Stay for the truth beneath it.
