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." -- The Merriam-Webster Encyclopedia of Literature

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Tale of Two Cities differs essentially from all of Dickens' other novels in style and manner of treatment. Forster, in his 'Life of Dickens,' writes that "there is no instance in his novels excepting this, of a deliberate and planned departure from the method of treatment which had been pre-eminently the source of his popularity as a novelist." To rely less upon character than upon incident, and to resolve that his actors should be expressed by the story more than they should express themselves by dialogue, was for him a hazardous, and can hardly be called an entirely successful, experiment. With singular dramatic vivacity, much constructive art, and with descriptive passages of a high order everywhere, there was probably never a book by a great humorist, and an artist so prolific in conception, with so little humor and so few remarkable figures. Its merit lies elsewhere. The two cities are London and Paris. The time is just before and during the French Revolution. A peculiar chain of events knits and interweaves the lives of a "few simple, private people" with the outbreak of a terrible public event. Dr. Manette has been a prisoner in the Bastille for eighteen years, languishing there, as did so many others, on some vague unfounded charge. His release when the story opens, his restoration to his daughter Lucie, the trial and acquittal of one Charles Darnay, nephew of a French marquis, on a charge of treason, the marriage of Lucie Manette to Darnay,— these incidents form the introduction to the drama of blood which is to follow. Two friends of the Manette family complete the circle of important characters: Mr.

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
