Zustand: guter Zustand. guter Zustand, geringe Gebrauchs- und Alterungsspuren: Seitenschnitt etwas vergilbt, aber Seiten überwiegend sauber und ordentlich - gelegentlich Anstreichungen, Markierungen oder Randnotizen mit Bleistift, im hinteren Vorsatz umfangreichere Bleistiftnotizen - Schutzumschläge gering defekt - im Band 1 eine Seite senkrecht geknickt - wenige Seiten teils etwas eselsohrig Undurchsichtig und trübe wie ein waschechter Londoner Nebel sind die Geschäfte und Praktiken des altehrwürdigen Kanzleigerichts, dessen schwerfällige, seelenlose Maschinerie einen Erbschaftsprozeß jahrzehntelang verschleppt, bis das Verfahren die gesamte Erbmasse verschlungen und die Beteiligten ruiniert hat. ? Die Kehrseiten der scheinbar so harmonischen und philanthropisch eingestellten viktorianischen Gesellschaft sind in dem 1852/53 veröffentlichten Werk mit düster-beklemmenden Farben gezeichnet, die nichts mehr von der lächelnden Heiterkeit und Gelassenheit der frühen Romanwelt Dickens' spüren lassen. Seitenanzahl: 550 & 558 Seiten mit 29 Illustrationen Format: ca. 13 x 20 Leinen Deutsch. Hablôt Knight Browne, genannt Phiz (illustrator).…
