DRUCKER 回憶錄引用過 Martin Chuzzlewit,

 "Martin Chuzzlewit" is a novel by Charles Dickens, serialized between 1843 and 1844. It is considered one of Dickens's last picaresque novels and explores themes of selfishness, morality, and redemption through the lives of the Chuzzlewit family.

The story centers on Martin Chuzzlewit, a young architect who is disinherited by his wealthy grandfather, also named Martin Chuzzlewit, due to his selfish behavior. The novel contrasts the fates of two Chuzzlewits: Martin, who seeks moral redemption and personal growth, and his cousin Jonas, who embodies greed and corruption, leading him down a path of crime and despair.

Dickens uses a rich cast of characters to satirize various aspects of society, including hypocrisy, greed, and the pursuit of wealth. Notable characters include Seth Pecksniff, a self-serving architect who pretends to be virtuous, and Mr. Mould, a funeral director who profits from the death of others. The narrative is filled with humor and social commentary, showcasing Dickens's keen observations of human nature.

The novel also features a subplot involving Martin's travels to America, where he encounters the cultural differences and social issues of the time. This journey serves as a backdrop for further exploration of the themes of identity and belonging.

Overall, "Martin Chuzzlewit" is a complex and engaging work that reflects Dickens's evolving literary style and his deepening exploration of character and morality. It remains a significant part of his oeuvre, appreciated for its humor, social critique, and memorable characters.
