La declaracion de George Silverman

A man’s conscience gets the better of him in this thought-provoking novella from Charles Dickens, presented here with spectacular full-color illustrations. George Silverman recounts his life from being a poor, starving boy who spent his youth in a gloomy cellar to emerging to the outside world thanks to Brother Hawkyard, George’s new guardian after the death of his parents. On the outside, George discovers new forms of grief and, for the first time, love. Unfortunately, as a young man without instinct or experience, he proves to be too impressionable, and Brother Hawkyard, as everyone else before him, takes advantage of George’s sensitivity and eagerness to please, resulting in hyper self-awareness and his eventual downfall.
