This is the soulless domain of the strict utilitarian Thomas Gradgrind and the heartless factory owner Josiah Bounderby. However human joy is not excluded thanks to ´Mr Sleary´s Horse-Riding´ circus, a gin-soaked and hilarious troupe of open-hearted and affectionate people who act as an antidote to all the drudgery and misery endured by the ordinary citizens of Coketown. Biography Charles Dickens is probably the greatest novelist England ever produced. His innate comic genius and shrewd depictions of Victorian life -- along with his memorable characters -- have made him beloved by readers the world over. In Dickens´ books live some of the most repugnant villains in literature, as well as some of the most likeable (and unlikely) heroes. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- POSSO ENTREGAR EM MÃO EM CALDAS DA RAINHA, OU ENVIO POR CORREIO REGISTADO MAS, OS PORTES FICAM A CARGO DO ILUSTRE COMPRADOR.
