Paris et Londres: Un Conte de deux Villes

by Charles Dickens

Overview

« La Révolution française de Dickens est sans doute plus conforme à la réalité que celle de Carlyle » G.K. Chesterton

Charles Dickens, l’un des plus grands conteurs et maître du genre, nous livre ici une fresque historique où s'entremêlent avec brio les drames personnels de plusieurs personnages à la grande Histoire pendant la période troublée de la Révolution Française. Entre Paris et Londres, les différents protagonistes sont plongés au coeur même des événements qui changèrent à tout jamais l’Europe. L’intrigue de ce roman à la fois social et historique est admirablement construite.
Traduction française d’Emmanuel Bove.

About the Author

Charles Dickens (1812-1870) is probably the greatest novelist England has ever produced, the author of such famous books as A Christmas Carol, Hard Times, Great Expectations, David Copperfield, and Oliver Twist. His innate comic genius and shrewd depictions of Victorian life — along with his indelible characters — have made his books beloved by readers the world over. Dickens was born in Landport, Portsea, England and died in Kent after suffering a stroke. The second of eight children of a family continually plagued by debt, the young Dickens came to know hunger, privation, and the horrors of the infamous debtors' prison and the evils of child labor. These unfortunate early life experiences helped shape many of his greatest works.
