Inhaltsangabe
After eighteen years as a political prisoner in the Bastille the aging Dr Manette is finally released and reunited with his daughter in England. There two very different men, Charles Darnay, an exiled French aristocrat, and Sydney Carton, a disreputable but brilliant English lawyer, become enmeshed through their love for Lucie Manette. From the tranquil lanes of London, they are all drawn against their will to the vengeful, bloodstained streets of Paris at the height of the Reign of Terror and soon fall under the lethal shadow of La Guillotine.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor
Charles Dickens was born at Portsmouth on 7 February 1812. He received little formal education, but taught himself shorthand and became a reporter of parliamentary debates for the Morning Chronicle. He began to publish sketches in various periodicals, which were subsequently republished as Sketches by Boz. The Pickwick Papers were published in 1836–7 and after a slow start became a publishing phenomenon and Dickens's characters the centre of a popular cult. He began Oliver Twist in 1837, followed by Nicholas Nickleby (1838) and The Old Curiosity Shop (1840–41).After finishing Barnaby Rudge (1841) Dickens set off for America; he went full of enthusiasm for the young republic but, in spite of a triumphant reception, he returned disillusioned. His experiences are recorded in American Notes (1842). Martin Chuzzlewit (1843–4) did not repeat its predecessors' success but this was quickly redressed by the huge popularity of the Christmas Books, of which the first, A Christmas Carol, appeared in 1843. During 1844–6 Dickens travelled abroad and he began Dombey and Son while in Switzerland. This and David Copperfield (1849–50) were more serious in theme and more carefully planned than his early novels. In later works, such as Bleak House (1853) and Little Dorrit (1857), Dickens's social criticism became more radical and his comedy more savage. Charles Dickens died on 9 June 1870.

Softcover. Zustand: Fine. Gebogener Buchrucken. Charles Dickens's novel portrays a world divided between Paris and London during the tumultuous French Revolution. This Penguin Classics edition is edited by Richard Maxwell, featuring an introduction and notes. The story begins with the release of Dr. Manette, who has spent eighteen years as a political prisoner in the Bastille, reuniting with his daughter in England. There, two contrasting men--Charles Darnay, an exiled French aristocrat, and Sydney Carton, a brilliant yet disreputable English lawyer--become entwined through their love for Lucie Manette. As they navigate the peaceful streets of London, they are inevitably drawn to the violent chaos of Paris during the Reign of Terror, where they face the grim reality of La Guillotine. This edition presents the text from its original 1859 serial publication, capturing the full breadth of Dickens's vision and including illustrations by H.K. Browne ('Phiz'). Maxwell's introduction explores the blend of epic drama and personal tragedy in the narrative. Celebrated for his enduring impact, Dickens's works, including Oliver Twist and Great Expectations, have been widely adapted and cherished. Readers who enjoyed this novel may also appreciate Dickens's The Old Curiosity Shop, available in Penguin Classics. Artikel-Nr. a6b9f909-0e88-4afc-984e-b92fc8369760
