Bleak House

As the interminable case of 'Jarndyce and Jarndyce' grinds its way through the Court of Chancery, it draws together a disparate group of people: Ada and Richard Clare, whose inheritance is gradually being devoured by legal costs; Esther Summerson, a ward of court, whose parentage is a source of deepening mystery; the menacing lawyer Tulkinghorn.

Pe masura ce cazul interminabil al lui ,,Jarndyce si Jarndyce" isi face drum prin Curtea Cancelariei, acesta reuneste un grup disparat de oameni: Ada si Richard Clare, a caror mostenire este devorata treptat de costurile judiciare; Esther Summerson, un tribunal, a carei descendenta este o sursa de mister din ce in ce mai adanc; amenintatorul avocat Tulkinghorn.
