ISBN10: 1853260398, ISBN13: 9781853260391, [publisher: Blank, Wordsworth] Softcover Neuware - A Tale of Two Cities is Charles Dickens's great historical novel, set against the French Revolution. The most famous and perhaps the most popular of his works, it compresses an event of immense complexity to the scale of a family history, with a cast of characters that includes a bloodthirsty ogress and an antihero as believably flawed as any in modern fiction. Though the least typical of the author's novels, A Tale of Two Cities still underscores many of his enduring themes - imprisonment, injustice, and social anarchy, resurrection and the renunciation that fosters renewal. 329 pp. Englisch [Einbeck, Germany] [Publication Year: 1993]

'A Tale of Two Cities' (1859), Dickens' greatest historical novel, traces the private lives of a group of people caught up in the cataclysm of the French Revolution and the Terror. Dickens based his historical detail on Carlyle's great work The French Revolution and also on his own observations and investigations during numerous visits to Paris.

Against the backdrop of the French Revolution, Dickens unfolds his masterpiece of drama, adventure, and romance about a man falsely accused of treason. Excitement and derring-do in the shadow of the guillotine. It was the time of the French Revolution - a time of great change and great danger. It was a time when injustice was met by a lust for vengeance, and rarely was a distinction made between the innocent and the guilty. Against this tumultuous historical backdrop, Dickens' great story of unsurpassed adventure and courage unfolds. Unjustly imprisoned for 18 years in the Bastille, Dr. Alexandre Manette is reunited with his daughter, Lucie, and safely transported from France to England. It would seem that they could take up the threads of their lives in peace. As fate would have it though, the pair are summoned to the Old Bailey to testify against a young Frenchman - Charles Darnay - falsely accused of treason. Strangely enough, Darnay bears an uncanny resemblance to another man in the courtroom, the dissolute lawyer's clerk Sydney Carton. It is a coincidence that saves Darnay from certain doom more than once. Brilliantly plotted, the novel is rich in drama, romance, and heroics that culminate in a daring prison escape in the shadow of the guillotine.

ISBN10: 1420974963, ISBN13: 9781420974966, [publisher: Digireads.com] Softcover Paperback. "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times", so begins Charles Dickens's famous novel concerning the contentious time leading up to and during the French Revolution. In these first words Dickens exemplifies the dichotomous relationship that existed between the aristocracy and the lower classes of the time and the universal themes that would be depicted throughout the book. "A Tale of Two Cities", is set in London and Paris, the titular two cities, at the end of the 18th century, and principally concerns the lives of Dr. Alexandre Manette, his daughter Lucie, who marries a French nobleman, Charles Darnay, and their close family friend, barrister Sydney Carton. Despite the union of Lucie and Darney, Carton confesses his love to Lucie, declaring to "embrace any sacrifice for you and for those dear to you", a promise that he will uphold in dramatic fashion by the end of the novel. Dickens considered "A Tale of Two Cities" to be the best novel that he had ever written. One of only two works of historical fiction that the author would compose; it is a sweeping narrative that explores the best and the worst of the human character and condition.

ISBN10: 0368722945, ISBN13: 9780368722943, [publisher: Blurb] Softcover Paperback. There were a king with a large jaw and a queen with a plain face, on the throne of England; there were a king with a large jaw and a queen with a fair face, on the throne of France. In both countries it was clearer than crystal to the lords of the State preserves of loaves and fishes, that things in general were settled for ever. It was the year of Our Lord one thousand seven hundred and seventy-five. Spiritual revelations were conceded to England at that favoured period, as at this. Mrs. Southcott had recently attained her five-and-twentieth blessed birthday, of whom a prophetic private in the Life Guards had heralded the sublime appearance by announcing that arrangements were made for the swallowing up of London and Westminster. Even the Cock-lane ghost had been laid only a round dozen of years, after rapping out its messages, as the spirits of this very year last past (supernaturally deficient in originality) rapped out theirs. Mere messages in the earthly order of events had lately come to the English Crown and People, from a congress of British subjects in America: which, strange to relate, have proved more important to the human race than any communications yet received through any of the chickens of the Cock-lane brood.

ISBN10: 1586174428, ISBN13: 9781586174422, [publisher: Ignatius Press, San Francisco] Softcover Paperback. In this exciting novel set during the French Revolution, Charles Dickens expresses sympathy for the downtrodden poor and their outrage at the self-indulgent aristocracy. But Dickens is no friend of the vengeful mob that storms the Bastille and cheers the guillotine. As with all of his stories, his passion is for the unforgettable and unrepeatable individuals he creates. The sorrows of the suffering masses, their demands for justice, and the indiscriminate fury they unleash take flesh in Madame Defarge, while the self-sacrifice that is the truest means of atonement and rebirth manifests in the unlikely hero Sydney Carton. In A Tale of Two Cities, humanity does not show its best side in the mean streets of Paris or even London, but in the intimate circle of loyal friends that gathers around the honorable Doctor Manette and his lovely daughter, Lucie. The grim tale of the people who were caught up in the wave of violence and murder which marked the French Revolution.

ISBN10: 1722503408, ISBN13: 9781722503406, [publisher: G&D Media] Softcover Paperback. Beautifully Designed Literary Classic Rich in Drama, Romance and HeroicsIt was the best of times, it was the worst of times is how Dickens' most famous work of historical fiction opens. One of the best-selling novels of all time, it has sold an estimated 200 million copies. Adapted for film, television, radio, and the stage, the novel has had an influence on popular culture since it was written. The story is set in London and Paris before and during the violent upheaval of the French Revolution. It was a time of great change and extreme danger. Rich and poor were far apart and no one was exempt from the ensuing wrath during the Revolution and the Reign of Terror with massacres and public executions. Injustice was met by a lust for vengeance, and a distinction was rarely made between the innocent and the guilty. Against this backdrop, Dickens' story of unsurpassed adventure and courage unfolds. Underscoring the themes of imprisonment, injustice, social anarchy, resurrection, and the renunciation that fosters renewal, Dickens compresses an event of immense complexity to the scale of a family history. While political events drive the story, Dickens lambasts both aristocratic tyranny and revolutionary excess which is caricatured in Madame Defarge, who knits beside the guillotine. The novel, rich in drama, romance, and heroics is perhaps best known for Carton's last ...
