Book excerpt: Novel by Charles Dickens, published both serially and in book form in 1859. The story is set in the late 18th century against the background of the French Revolution. Although Dickens borrowed from Thomas Carlyle's history, The French Revolution, for his sprawling tale of London and revolutionary Paris, the novel offers more drama than accuracy. The scenes of large-scale mob violence are especially vivid, if superficial in historical understanding. The complex plot involves Sydney Carton's sacrifice of his own life on behalf of his friends Charles Darnay and Lucie Manette. While political events drive the story, Dickens takes a decidedly antipolitical tone, lambasting both aristocratic tyranny and revolutionary excess--the latter memorably caricatured in Madame Defarge, who knits beside the guillotine. The book is perhaps best known for its opening lines, "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times," and for Carton's last speech, in which he says of his replacing Darnay in a prison cell, "It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to, than I have ever known."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Tale of Two Cities (1859) is a novel by Charles Dickens, set in London and Paris before and during the French Revolution. The novel tells the story of the French Doctor Manette, his 18-year-long imprisonment in the Bastille in Paris and his release to life in London with his daughter Lucie, whom he had never met; Lucie's marriage and the collision between her beloved husband and the people who caused her father's imprisonment; and Monsieur and Madame Defarge, sellers of wine in a poor suburb of Paris. The story is set against the conditions that led up to the French Revolution and the Reign of Terror. A Tale of Two Cities is one of only two works of historical fiction by Charles Dickens (the second being Barnaby Rudge). Dickens relies much on The French Revolution: A History by Thomas Carlyle as a historical source. Dickens wrote in his Preface to Tale that "no one can hope to add anything to the philosophy of Mr. Carlyle's wonderful book". Dickens uses literal translations of French idioms for characters who cannot speak English, such as "What the devil do you do in that galley there?!!" and "Where is my wife? ---Here you see me." The Penguin Classics edition of the novel notes that "Not all readers have regarded the experiment as a success." J. L. Borges quipped: "Dickens lived in London. In his book A Tale of Two Cities, based on the French Revolution, we see that he really could not write a tale of two cities. He was a resident of just one city: London."

Download or read book A Tale of Two Cities written by Charles Dickens and published by . This book was released on 2021-03-25 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Novel by Charles Dickens, distributed both sequentially and in book structure in 1859. The story is set in the late eighteenth century against the foundation of the French Revolution. Despite the fact that Dickens acquired from Thomas Carlyle's set of experiences, The French Revolution, for his rambling story of London and progressive Paris, the novel offers more dramatization than exactness. The locations of enormous scope crowd savagery are particularly striking, if shallow in chronicled understanding. The intricate plot includes Sydney Carton's penance of his own life in the interest of his companions Charles Darnay and Lucie Manette. While political occasions drive the story, Dickens takes a positively antipolitical tone, attacking both blue-blooded oppression and progressive overabundance - the last significantly mimicked in Madame Defarge, who weaves close to the guillotine. The book is maybe most popular for its initial lines, "It was the awesome occasions, it was the most noticeably awful of times," and for Carton's last discourse, in which he says of his supplanting Darnay in a jail cell, "It is a far, far superior thing that I do, than I have at any point done; it is a far, far superior rest that I go to, than I have at any point known." - The Merriam-Webster Encyclopedia of Literature

This book was released on 2023-05-26 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness. . . . As its title promises, this brief chapter establishes the era in which the novel takes place: England and France in 1775. The age is marked by competing and contradictory attitudes-"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times"-but resembles the "present period" in which Dickens writes. In England, the public worries over religious prophecies, popular paranormal phenomena in the form of "the Cock-lane ghost," and the messages that a colony of British subjects in America has sent to King George III. France, on the other hand, witnesses excessive spending and extreme violence, a trend that anticipates the erection of the guillotine. Yet in terms of peace and order, English society cannot "justify much national boasting" either-crime and capital punishment abound. In a brief note, Dickens mentions the source of inspiration for A Tale of Two Cities: a play in which he acted, called The Frozen Deep, written by his friend Wilkie Collins. He adds that he hopes that he can further his readers' understanding of the French Revolution-"that terrible time"-but that no one can truly hope to surpass Thomas Carlyle's The French Revolution (published in 1837).
