About the book

Charles Dickens's Martin Chuzzlewit follows several members of the Chuzzlewit family, whose relationships are shaped by greed, inheritance and self-interest. Young Martin travels to America in search of opportunity, while the hypocritical Seth Pecksniff becomes one of Dickens's great comic villains. The novel combines satire, moral growth and social criticism in a broad attack on selfishness and pretence. The Master of Ballantrae Robert Louis Stevenson's The Master of Ballantrae is a dark historical novel about two Scottish brothers whose rivalry becomes increasingly destructive. James Durie, the charismatic Master of Ballantrae, repeatedly returns to disrupt the life of his more responsible brother Henry. The novel explores jealousy, family loyalty, obsession and the corrosive effects of hatred.
