Notă biografică

Charles Dickens wurde am 7. Februar 1812 in Landport in England geboren und starb am 9. Juni 1870 in der Nähe von Rochester. Er war ein englischer Schriftsteller. Dickens war das zweite von acht Kindern eines mittellosen Marineschreibers. 1823 wurde der überschuldete Vater ins Londoner Gefängnis inhaftiert, in das ¿ wie damals üblich ¿ auch die ganze Familie zog. Dickens lebte als einziger außerhalb und musste schon als Kind die Familie als Hilfsarbeiter ernähren. Diese Erfahrungen waren die Inspiration für spätere Romane. Die Schule besuchte Dickens nur unregelmäßig. 1827 begann er als Schreiber bei einem Rechtsanwalt und arbeitete sich zum parlamentarischen Berichterstatter hoch. Ab 1831 machte er sich einen Namen als Journalist und begann dann, seine ersten Fortsetzungsromane in Zeitschriften zu veröffentlichen. 1836 heiratete er seine Frau Catherine, mit der er zehn Kinder bekam. Zwei Jahre später erschien mit ¿Oliver Twist¿ Dickens¿ erster Roman und zugleich eines seiner wichtigsten Werke. Auch in den USA erlangte er mit diesem und weiteren Werken wie ¿A Christmas Carol¿, ¿David Copperfield¿ oder ¿Great Expectations¿ großen Erfolg. Nach 22 Jahren Ehe trennte Dickens sich von seiner Frau - eine Scheidung war damals undenkbar. Bis zu seinem Tod war die Schauspielerin Ellen Ternan seine Geliebte. Ein Eisenbahnunfall im Jahr 1865 machte Dickens psychisch schwer zu schaffen und war Inspiration für ¿The Signal-Man¿. Charles Dickens starb am 9. Juni 1870 gesundheitlich bereits schwer angeschlagen auf seinem Landsitz an einem zweiten Schlaganfall. Seine Werke gehören bis heute zu den meistgelesenen der englischen Literatur und wurden zum Großteil sogar mehrmals verfilmt.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:

Doctor Manette, a prominent French Doctor, must flea Paris in the midst of the chaos that has ensued in what became known as the Reign of Terror. Fearing further persecution from his 18 maddening years of imprisonment in the Bastille of Paris, Doctor Manette hurriedly leaves France to be with the daughter he's never met.

Opening with the famous lines, "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times..." Charles Dickens', A Tale of Two Cities is perhaps one of the most celebrated and popular novels of its time. Weaving together the narratives of vastly different but equally profound characters against the backdrop of political revolution and strife, A Tale of Two Cities is a tale of human perseverance. Throughout the novel, Charles Dickens is able to portray the hardships of each social class during the trying times of the French Revolution in a way that is both profoundly elegant and heartbreaking at the same time. Becoming known as the perhaps the epitome of Dickensian writing and style, A Tale of Two Cities measures the boundaries of human will in the fight for what is right during a time when that just might cost your life.

 

Recenzii

"It is really one of his best. There are passages so spattered with violence and blood that you look out for the red blotches on the page in front of you...brilliantly plotted" -- A.N. Wilson Daily Telegraph "Dickens's story of love, espionage and Anglo-French relations" Scotsman "When I was very much younger I used to think that A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens was the most wonderful book in all the world. I was particularly moved by Sydney Carton dying in the place of Charles Evremonde and thought this was a wonderful act but, in fact, of course in later years if you read it, it becomes an incredibly selfish act" -- Anne Widdecombe Independent "Dickens writes about Parisian and London society with such grittiness and truth, you become immersed" -- Anne Charleston (Madge From Neighbours!!) "Dickens's magnificent account of the revolution and one of his best (and shortest) novels" Observer

Textul de pe ultima copertă

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."
