Our Mutual Friend. by Charles Dickens. BOOK THE FIRST - THE CUP AND THE LIP. Chapter 1. ON THE LOOK OUT. In these times of ours, though concerning the exact year there is no need to be precise, a boat of dirty and disreputable appearance, with two figures in it, floated on the Thames, between Southwark bridge which is of iron, and London. By: Charles Dickens () As the last published novel of a writer whose career spanned over a dozen novels, innumerable short stories, plays and nonfiction, Our Mutual Friend is indeed a great composition by Charles Dickens. Considered to be one of his most mature, insightful and refined works, Our Mutual Friend takes a long, hard look at what many Victorians loved but hated to admit. Our Mutual Friend opens with a grim scene: the discovery of a dead body in the river Thames. Documents indicate that the man is John Harmon, heir to a vast fortune amassed from dust heaps (mounds of discarded rubbish and coal dust, which could be both scavenged for valuables and resold to be recycled into new materials).
Like many of his earlier novels, such as A Tale of Two Cities and Great Expectations, Charles Dickens’s Our Mutual Friend originally appeared in serialized form. The nineteen monthly installments were written in and , and as a whole are viewed as one of the author’s more sophisticated tomes with its satirical edge and social commentary. When miserly old Harmon dies in London, he is alone in the world save for his employees Mr. and Mrs. Boffin. “Have a heart that never hardens, and a temper that never tires, and a touch that never hurts.” This customizable design features this quote by Charles Dickens from his last completed novel, “Our Mutual Friend”. “You do right, child, to speak well of those who deserve well of you.”. "Our Mutual Friend," a sumptuous six-hour adaption of Charles Dickens' last novel, easily establishes itself among the very best of the long-form British adaptions. Visually stunning, with an opulent budget, no other series more accurately captures the feeling of Dickens' England, from the waterfront sets to the huge ensemble cast of oddballs, scum, slime, and heroes.
