Unser gemeinsamer Freund

Summary

Unser Gemeinsamer Freund, Originaltitel: Our Mutual Friend, (entstanden 1864–65) ist Charles Dickens letzter vollendeter Roman. Er ist um einen Mittelpunkt angelegt, den die Figur Bella Wilfer den Worten J. Hillis Millers nach als „money, money, money and what money can make of life“ bezeichnet. Geld bildet in diesem Roman den sozialen Kitt der Gesellschaft und ist das Ziel fast aller Figuren. Dies trifft auch auf die im Titel genannte Hauptfigur, den gemeinsamen Freund John Harmon, zu. Er kam nach London, um die Möglichkeiten einer ihm zustehenden Erbschaft zu erkundschaften. Dieses Buch gibt die rassistischen und sonstigen Schimpfwörter seiner Zeit so wieder, wie sie geschrieben wurden; der Leitfaden zum Buch erklärt diese Wörter an den Stellen, an denen sie vorkommen.
