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. La conciencia de un hombre se apodera de el en esta estimulante novela corta de Charles Dickens, presentada aqui con espectaculares ilustraciones a todo color. George Silverman cuenta su vida desde su ninez pobre y hambrienta viviendo en un lugubre sotano hasta su salida al exterior gracias al Hermano Hawkyard, el nuevo tutor de George despues de la muerte de sus padres. En el exterior, George conoce nuevas formas de desconsuelo y, por primera vez, el amor. Desafortunadamente, como mozo sin instinto y sin experiencia, resulta ser demasiado influenciable, y el Hermano Hawkyard, como todos los que le precedieron, explota la sensibilidad y el afan por agradar de George, lo cual lo lleva a un extremo conocimiento de si mismo y su caida final.
