“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times…”
The novel, A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens is about Sydney Carton who sacrifices his life on behalf of two friends. The story involves political events and he takes an antipolitical tone in this book where there are also descriptions of both aristocratic tyranny and revolutionary excess that can be caricatured with Madame Defarge knitting beside the guillotine.
The French Revolution is the backdrop of this story, but it takes more than just historical accuracy to make an excellent novel. The scenes with large-scale mob violence are vivid and detailed, despite lacking an understanding of how they happened or why things happened as quickly as they did during such times back then – yet there’s no denying that these parts provide depth and entertainment!
Sneak Peek:
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way—in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.
