    Nicholas Nickleby ist ein Roman von Charles Dickens aus dem Jahr 1838 / 1839. Der Roman spielt um das Jahr 1830 und beginnt mit dem Tod von Nicholas Nicklebys Vater Godfrey Nickleby. Godfrey hatte sich bei Aktiengeschäften verspekuliert und den Ruin nicht verkraftet. Nach seinem Tod muss die Familie das Anwesen in Devonshire verlassen und sucht Unterstützung bei dem ebenso vermögenden wie geizigen Bruder Godfreys, Ralph Nickleby, in London. Ralph Nickleby wird zum Hauptgegenspieler Nicholas'. Er bringt Nicholas dazu, eine Stellung als Hilfslehrer in der weit entfernten Erziehungsanstalt Dotheboys Hall anzunehmen. Die angebliche Wohltat erweist sich schon bald als listiger Versuch, den ungeliebten Neffen loszuwerden. Nicholas stellt fest, dass die Schüler als Mittel zum Geldverdienen betrachtet und missbraucht werden. Der Anstaltsleiter Wackford Squeers und seine Familie ziehen aus den Schülern nur persönlichen Profit. Nicholas ist der einzige, der sich für die Belange der Schüler einsetzt, wird entsprechend von den Schülern geliebt und Mrs. Squeers gehasst... Charles Dickens (1812-1870) war ein englischer Schriftsteller. Zu seinen bekanntesten Werken gehören Oliver Twist, David Copperfield, Eine Geschichte aus zwei Städten, Große Erwartungen sowie Eine Weihnachtsgeschichte.

    The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1835min
    The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby is closely modelled on the 18h-century novels that Charles Dickens loved as a child, such as Robinson Crusoe, in which the fortunes of a hero shape the plot. The likeable young Nicholas, left penniless on the death of his father, sets off in search of better prospects. His meandering route to happiness includes work as a teacher at Dotheboys Hall, where the brutal Wackford Squeers ill-treats his impoverished pupils, and a spell as an actor with the absurdly melodramatic Crummles troupe. Nicholas's many adventures give Dickens the freedom to follow the eccentricities of a vivid gallery of characters, exploring themes of class, love, and self-awareness with exuberant comedy and biting satire. ungekürzt.
