Charles Dickens – Our Mutual Friend (Müşterek Dostumuz) – İthaki Yayınları Two-Volume Edition (2017)

Description:

This is the 2017 Turkish full-text two-volume edition of Our Mutual Friend (Müşterek Dostumuz), published by İthaki Yayınları. Written by Charles Dickens and first published in 1864–1865, the novel is Dickens’s final completed work and one of his most complex explorations of society, wealth, and identity.

The story begins with the discovery of a body in the River Thames, which sets off a chain of events involving inheritance, hidden identities, and shifting social ambitions. Central to the narrative are characters connected to the inheritance of a dustman’s fortune, including John Harmon, Bella Wilfer, and the Veneering family. Through these intersecting lives, the novel examines how money influences morality, relationships, and social status in Victorian London.

Charles Dickens is regarded as one of the greatest English novelists, known for his detailed social criticism and unforgettable characters. His later works often focus on the corruption and contradictions of industrial society. In Our Mutual Friend, he delivers a darkly satirical yet deeply human portrait of wealth, greed, and transformation.

This İthaki Yayınları edition is presented as a complete two-volume full-text set, offering an unabridged Turkish translation. The cover features an illustration by a Turkish artist, giving the edition a distinctive local visual identity. As a modern Turkish printing of Dickens’s final novel, it holds strong literary and collectible value.
