Bleak House opens in the twilight of foggy London, where fog grips the city most densely in the Court of Chancery. The obscure case of Jarndyce and Jarndyce, in which an inheritance is gradually devoured by legal costs, the romance of Esther Summerson and the secrets of her origin, the sleuthing of Detective Inspector Bucket and the fate of Jo the crossing-sweeper, these are some of the lives Dickens invokes to portray London society, rich and poor, as no other novelist has done. Bleak House, in its atmosphere, symbolism and magnificent bleak comedy, is often regarded as the best of Dickens. A 'great Victorian novel', it is so inventive in its competing plots and styles that it eludes interpretation.

秃鹰一般的律师，吸血鬼一般的大法官，他们为了从中获利将案件拖延了二十年之久。遗产官司之外，一群律师发现了一个秘密。男爵夫人早年曾经失足，与一个上尉军人生下私生女艾瑟·萨莫森。于是律师藉此威胁，甚至整死一名流浪少年，其中的一名律师被他所利用的人杀害，男爵夫人离家出走，死於风雪中。这二十年期间申诉者居住在荒凉山庄，主人约翰·詹狄士（John Jarndyce）成为一对表兄妹和艾瑟的监护人，他们等待法官做最后的判决。而期待从这个案子得到遗产利益的，死的死，疯的疯，讽刺的是最后整笔遗产正好全数支付有关案件的诉讼费用，遗产耗尽之后，终于结案。文章源自：力哥爱英语（ienglish521.com）力哥爱英语-https://ienglish521.com/3041.html
就整体而言，本书讲述的是个把惊悚的传奇包裹在道德和人性关怀密网里的故事，让人们看到邪恶的操控支配，报复心态等力量与向上升华的纯真，善良相互争战，最后是善良获胜。而从细节来说，这部小说则有更多含义，它谈论爱情，压迫，不切实际的幻想，一个时代的结构与价值改变，体制的不公不义。文章源自：力哥爱英语（ienglish521.com）力哥爱英语-https://ienglish521.com/3041.html
