Antiquities Shop

“Antiquities Shop” — is an intertwining of realistic narrative and fairy tale with elements of Gothic, featuring weird, strange, and grotesque characters, dark secrets. The novel about Nell, a little girl with an “infinitely sweet nature,” her grandfather, a senile card player-dreamer, and the cruel dwarf moneylender Quilp who pursues them, raises the eternal theme of the confrontation between good and evil. One of the most touching novels by Charles Dickens.
