Bleak House follows the fortunes and relationships of three characters whose fates are tied to the obscure inheritance case of Jarndyce v. Jarndyce, which is tied up in endless litigation. While many deserving and undeserving claim the inheritance, it is ironically being devoured in legal costs.
Interessantes und sehr langes Werk von Charles Dickens über einen Erbschaftsstreit (Jarndyce gegen Jarndyce), aber auch über das Leben der jungen Esther Summerson. Viele Motive, viele Personen-trotzdem kann man dem Buch gut folgen. Dickens´ Schreibstil, sein leiser Humor, seine soziale Anklage, seine Personen sind auch nach über 150 Jahren noch völlig aktuell. Jetzt schaue ich mir noch die BBC-Verfilmung an: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KV_rbl5hQg8( )
You have to embrace Bleak House for what it is – a rambling, confusing, verbose, over-populated, vastly improbable story which substitutes caricatures for people and is full of puns. In other words, an 800-page Dickens novel.

Erste Worte
London. Michaelmas term lately over, and the Lord Chancellor sitting in Lincoln's Inn Hall.
Vor einigen Monaten war ein Kanzleigerichtsbeisitzer so liebenswürdig, bei einer öffentlichen Feier und in einer Gesellschaft von hundertfünfzig Damen und Herren, von denen man nicht gut annehmen kann, daß sie verrückt sind, die Behauptung aufzustellen, das Kanzleigericht sei eine fast fehlerlose Institution, wenn es auch das Lieblingsthema gewisser, in Voirurteilen befangener Leute bilde - bei welcher Äußerung besagter Richter mir einen Seitenblick zuzuwerfen geruhte -, sie herabzusetzen.
Zitate
This world of ours has its limits too (as Your Highness shall find when you have made the tour of it, and are come to the brink of the void beyond).
His family is as old as the hills, and infinitely more respectable. He has a general opinion that the world might get on without hills, but would be done up without Dedlocks. He would on the whole admit Nature to be a good idea (a little low, perhaps, when not enclosed with a park-fence), but an idea dependent for its execution on your great county families.
Indeed, he married her for love. A whisper still goes about, that she had not even family; howbeit, Sir Leicester had so much family that perhaps he had enough, and could dispense with any more.
He is of what is called the old school - a phrase generally meaning any school that seems never to have been young.
He must confess to two of the oldest infirmities in the world: one was, that he had no idea of time; the other, that he had no idea of money.
It is the next difficult thing to an impossibility to imagine Chesney Wold without Mrs Rouncewell, but she has only been here fifty years.
She considers that a family of such antiquity and importance has a right to a ghost. She regards a ghost as one of the privileges of the upper classes; a genteel distinction to which the common people have no claim.
There is something indefinably keen and wan about her anatomy, and she has a watchful way of looking out of the corners of her eyes without turning her head which could be pleasantly dispensed with, especially when she is in ill humour and near knives.

"But I know that my dearest little pets are very pretty, and that my darling is very beautiful, and that my husband is very handsome, and that my guardian has the brightest and most benevolent face that ever was seen, and that they can very well do without much beauty in me--even supposing--."
