Martin Chuzzlewit

A spirited satire of greed, selfishness, and redemption that spans England and America.

Driven by wit, memorable characters, and biting social commentary, Martin Chuzzlewit is one of Charles Dickens’s sharpest examinations of human nature. The novel follows the young Martin Chuzzlewit, whose arrogance and sense of entitlement lead him into a series of trials that test his character.

As he journeys from England to the United States and back again, Martin confronts deception, hardship, and disappointment, gradually learning the value of humility, compassion, and honest work. Alongside his story, Dickens introduces the unforgettable hypocrite Seth Pecksniff and a colorful cast of characters who illuminate both the follies and virtues of Victorian society.

• First published in serial form from 1843 to 1844
• Inspired in part by Dickens’s 1842 visit to the United States
• A masterful exploration of greed, hypocrisy, ambition, redemption, and personal growth
