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 interminabilul caz ,,Jarndyce si Jarndyce" isi croieste drum prin Curtea de Cancelarie, acesta atrage impreuna un grup disparat de oameni: Ada si Richard Clare, a caror mostenire este treptat devorata de cheltuielile de judecata; Esther Summerson, o pupila a instantei, a carei ascendenta este o sursa de mister tot mai adanc; si amenintatorul avocat Tulkinghorn.
