| story of two cities: Tales of Two Cities John Freeman, 2015-09-08 Thirty major contemporary writers examine life in a deeply divided New York In a city where the top one percent earns more than a half-million dollars per year while twenty-five thousand children are homeless, public discourse about our entrenched and worsening wealth gap has never been more sorely needed. This remarkable anthology is the literary world’s response, with leading lights including Zadie Smith, Junot Díaz, and Lydia Davis bearing witness to the experience of ordinary New Yorkers in extraordinarily unequal circumstances. Through fiction and reportage, these writers convey the indignities and heartbreak, the callousness and solidarities, of living side by side with people of starkly different means. They shed light on the subterranean lives of homeless people who must find a bed in the city’s tunnels; the stresses that gentrification can bring to neighbors in a Brooklyn apartment block; the shenanigans of seriously alienated night-shift paralegals; the trials of a housing defendant standing up for tenants’ rights; and the humanity that survives in the midst of a deeply divided city. Tales of Two Cities is a brilliant, moving, and ultimately galvanizing clarion call for a city—and a nation—in crisis. |
| story of two cities: A Tale of Two Cities Illustrated by (Hablot Knight Browne (Phiz)) Charles Dickens, 2021-04-11 A Tale of Two Cities (1859) is the second historical novel by Charles Dickens, set in London and Paris before and during the French Revolution. It depicts the plight of the French proletariat under the brutal oppression of t+E3he French aristocracy in the years leading up to the revolution, and the corresponding savage brutality demonstrated by the revolutionaries toward the former aristocrats in the early years of the revolution. It follows the lives of several protagonists through these events, most notably Charles Darnay, a French once-aristocrat who falls victim to the indiscriminate wrath of the revolution despite his virtuous nature, and Sydney Carton, a dissipated English barrister who endeavours to redeem his ill-spent life out of love for Darnay's wife, Lucie Manette. |

| story of two cities: The Two Cities: A History of Christian Politics Andrew Willard Jones, 2021-06-24 The prevailing narrative of human history, given to us as children and reinforced constantly through our culture, is the plot of progress. As the narrative goes, we progressed from tyranny to freedom, from superstition to science, from poverty to wealth, from darkness to enlightenment. This is modernity’s origin myth. Out of it, a consensus has emerged: part of human progress is the overcoming of religion, in particular Christianity, and that the world itself is fundamentally secular. In The Two Cities: A History of Christian Politics, Andrew Willard Jones rewrites the political history of the West with a new plot, a plot in which Christianity is true, in which human history is Church history. The Two Cities moves through the rise and fall of empires; cycles of corruption and reform; the rise and fall of Christendom; the emergence of new political forms, such as the modern state, and new political ideologies, such as liberalism and socialism; through the horrible destruction of modern warfare; and on to the plight of contemporary Christians. These movements of history are all considered in light of their orientation toward or away from God. The Two Cities advances a theory of Christian politics that is both an explanation of secular politics and a proposal for Christians seeking to navigate today’s most urgent political questions. |
| story of two cities: Great Expectations [Large Print Edition] Charles Dickens, S. Sheley, Summit Press, 2014-09-18 This premium quality unabridged large print edition features a large 7.44x9.69 page size and is printed on heavyweight 60# bright white paper with a fully laminated cover featuring an original full color design. Page headers and modern design and page layout exemplify the attention to detail given this collector-quality volume. Also included is an original biography of Charles Dickens, discussing the life, work, and lasting influence of this literary titan. Widely regarded as Dickens' finest work and the quintessential Victorian coming-of-age tale, Great Expectations was originally published in serial form between December 1860 and August 1861. In response to contemporary literary criticism asserting that the story was too sad, Dickens later rewrote the ending. In keeping with long-standing tradition, this volume follows the 1874 edition, published as a full-length novel with the modified ending. This is by far the most widely read and best-known edition, and the version which has become a timeless classic. The tale follows the life of an orphan, Pip, from his childhood in the vicinity of the Kentish marshes to London and back again. Pip crosses paths with Abel Magwitch, an escaped convict and one of Dickens' most noteworthy characters, the well-off but unbalanced Miss Havisham, still wearing the wedding dress in which she was abandoned on her wedding day, and her beautiful adopted daughter Estella. Pip has a loyal friend in Joe, the brother-in-law who takes him on as an apprentice, where he is working when, Mr. Jaggers, the lawyer, informs him that he is to receive a large sum from an anonymous benefactor and must immediately travel to London. As the real relationships and identities of the characters are revealed over the course of the story, Pip discovers that things are sometimes not at all what they appear, and Dickens delves into themes of love, loyalty, honesty and revenge. Born in Portsmouth England on February 7, 1812, Charles Dickens enjoyed a comfortable childhood until his father lost his post at the Navy Pay Office, ultimately landing in debtors' prison. Young Charles endured an horrific experience pasting labels on jars of bootblack in a rat-infested slum and living in an attic. He would later teach himself shorthand and find work as a newspaper writer, covering politics and then the courts. These experiences, with his near-photographic memory, would provide him with material for the colorful characters and vivid depictions of life in England which characterized his work for decades. The publication of The Pickwick Papers in 1836, the world's first true literary phenomenon, brought Dickens success, and within a few years he was an international celebrity. Ultimately he would become the foremost novelist of the Victorian era and one of the most widely read writers in history. His books have never gone out of print, have been turned into films and plays, and are still widely read today. Known for his compelling storylines and unforgettable characters, Dickens' stories also served as vehicles for social commentary, often harshly critical of class stratification and public institutions but without the strident or didactic tone that might have alienated readers. In particular, and contrary to the prevailing views of the time, Dickens viewed the poor as wretched not because of their own weaknesses and moral failures but because of their helplessness before society's attitudes and institutions. Yet Dickens managed, even when dealing with grim and serious subject-matter, to maintain a humorous element, and satire and caricature fill the pages of his works. Dickens died on June 9, 1870, following a stroke. Given the body of work he left behind, it is striking to note that Charles Dickens was just 58 years old at his death. |

| story of two cities: A Tale of Two Cities (Black Classics) (Illustrated) Charles Dickens, 2021-03-12 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 Complete Original Unabridged Illustrated with book-end doodles about reading Beautifully laid out reader-friendly format |
| story of two cities: A Tale of Two Cities A Story Of The French Revolution Charles Dickens, 2021-04-08 A Tale of Two Cities is Charles Dickens's great historical novel, set against the violent upheaval of 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, social anarchy, resurrection, and the renunciation that fosters renewal. |

| story of two cities: A Tale Of Two Cities Charles Dickens, 2014-02-26 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. |

| story of two cities: A Tale of Two Cities (Annotated & Illustrated) Charles Dickens, 2019-05-28 A Tale of Two Cities (1859) is a historical 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 live in London with his daughter Lucie, whom he had never met. 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 other being Barnaby Rudge)The novel takes place primarily in London and Paris in the latter half of the eighteenth century. It spans a time period of roughly thirty-six years, with the (chronologically) first events taking place in December 1757 and the last in either late 1793 or early 1794.Research published in The Dickensian in 1963 suggests that the house at 1 Greek Street, now The House of St Barnabas, forms the basis for Dr Manette and Lucie's London house.[Wikipedia]The general edifice of the plot is solid; its interest is, notwithstanding the crowded background, concentrated with much skill upon a small group of personages; and Carton's self-sacrifice, admirably prepared from the very first, produces a legitimate tragic effect.... Altogether, the book is an extraordinary tour de force, which Dickens never repeated. - A.W. WARD.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 the conception of character, with so little humor and so few rememberable figures. Its merits lie elsewhere.... I should myself prefer to say that its distinctive merit is less in any of its conceptions of character, even Carton's, than as a specimen of Dickens's power in imaginative story telling.... To the end, the book in this respect is really remarkable.- JOHN FORSTER.The best novel, surely, like the best play, is that in which inner character and outward action are developed simultaneously; in which the growth of mind and heart and will are expressed through tangible and striking scenes. In this respect Vanity Fair and A Tale of Two Cities and Adam Bede and Pan Michael- to choose stories of very different types - accomplish what Shakespeare accomplished in Macbeth. They allow us to watch the growth or the decay of a soul even while we are fascinated by a spectacle.- BLISS PERRY.Its portrayal of the noble-natured castaway makes it almost a peerless book in modern literature, and gives it a place among the highest examples of literary art.... The conception of this character shows in its author an ideal of magnanimity and of charity unsurpassed. There is not a grander, lovelier figure than the self-wrecked, self-devoted Sydney Carton, in literature or history; and the story itself is so noble in its spirit, so grand and graphic in its style, and filled with a pathos so profound and simple, that it deserves and will surely take a place among the great serious works of imagination.- GRANT WHITE. |
