Great Novels of Charles Dickens

Více o knize

A Tale of Two Citied • Great Expectations Charles Dickens (1812—1870) is acknowledged as one of the giants of world literature. Collected here in one glorious volume are two of his best known and most highly thought of novels. Dickens combined a perfect sense of comedy and caricature with a poignant social conscience that reveals and attacks the injustices of Victorian England and the new Industrial Age. A Tale of Two Citied is a violent romance which pitches a brilliant but drunken lawyer and the descendant of a sadistic French aristocrat into the turmoil of the French Revolution. Great Expectation.' emphasises to great effect, through a remarkably perceptive and enthralling story, the importance of human relationships and their virtue over wealth and position.
