Charles John Huffam Dickens was an English writer and social
critic. He created some of the world's most memorable fictional
characters and is generally regarded as the greatest novelist of
the Victorian period. During his life, his works enjoyed
unprecedented fame, and by the twentieth century his literary
genius was broadly acknowledged by critics and scholars. His novels
and short stories continue to be widely popular. -Wikipedia
A Tale of Two Cities (1859) is a novel by Charles Dickens, set in
London and Paris before and during the French Revolution. With well
over 200 million copies sold, it ranks among the most famous works
in the history of fictional literature. The novel depicts the
plight of the French peasantry demoralised by the French
aristocracy in the years leading up to the revolution, the
corresponding brutality demonstrated by the revolutionaries toward
the former aristocrats in the early years of the revolution, and
many unflattering social parallels with life in London during the
same time period. It follows the lives of several protagonists
through these events. The most notable are Charles Darnay and
Sydney Carton. Darnay is a former French aristocrat who falls
victim to the indiscriminate wrath of the revolution despite his
virtuous nature, and Carton is a dissipated English barrister who
endeavors to redeem his ill-spent life out of his unrequited love
for Darnay's wife. The 45-chapter novel was published in 31 weekly
installments in Dickens's new literary periodical titled All the
Year Round. From April 1859 to November 1859, Dickens also
republished the chapters as eight monthly sections in green covers.
All but three of Dickens's previous novels had appeared only as
monthly installments. The first weekly installment of A Tale of Two
Cities ran in the first issue of All the Year Round on 30 April
1859. The last ran thirty weeks later, on 26 November.

1902. Rives was a member of one of America's oldest families and
the wife of a prominent American diplomat. She authored The Modern
and Complete Book of Etiquette. As a novelist she wrote several
best sellers. Hearts Courageous begins: In the year of grace 1774,
a climbing sun glowed above his Majesty's Colony of Virginia. It
drank the opal mists of the marshes, flecked the fields into
shadow-haunted cloth-of-gold, and so unrolled over the old middle
plantation, where, a round century before, Bacon and his men had
taken the oath against England, a drowsing, yellow mid-May
afternoon. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger
