A Tale of Two Cities
'Liberty, equality, fraternity, or death; - the last, much the easiest to bestow, O Guillotine!'Described by Dickens as 'the best story I have written', A Tale of Two Cities interweaves thrilling historical drama with heartbreaking personal tragedy. It vividly depicts a revolutionary Paris running red with blood, and a London where the poor starve. In the midst of the chaos two men - an exiled French aristocrat and a dissolute English lawyer - are both redeemed and condemned by their love for the same woman, as the shadow of La Guillotine draws closer.

Hard Times
The Penguin English Library Edition of Hard Times by Charles Dickens 'Now, what I want is, Facts. Teach these boys and girls nothing but Facts. Facts alone are wanted in life. Plant nothing else, and root out everything else' Coketown is dominated by the figure of Mr Thomas Gradgrind, school owner and model of Utilitarian success. Feeding both his pupils and his family with facts, he bans fancy and wonder from young minds. As a consequence his obedient daughter Louisa marries the loveless businessman and 'bully of humility' Mr Bounderby, and his son Tom rebels to become embroiled in gambling and robbery. And, as their fortunes cross with those of free-spirited circus girl Sissy Jupe and victimised weaver Stephen Blackpool, Gradgrind is eventually forced to recognise the value of the human heart in an age of materialism and machinery. The Penguin English Library - 100 editions of the best fiction in the English language, from the eighteenth century and the first novels to the beginning of the First World War.

David Copperfield
'Whether I shall turn out to be the hero of my own life, or whether that station will be held by anybody else, these pages must show' Dickens's epic, exuberant novel is one of the greatest coming-of-age stories in literature. It chronicles David Copperfield's extraordinary journey through life, as he encounters villains, saviours, eccentrics and grotesques, including the wicked Mr Murdstone, stout-hearted Peggotty, formidable Betsey Trotwood, impecunious Micawber and odious Uriah Heep. Dickens's great Bildungsroman (based, in part, on his own boyhood, and which he described as a 'favourite child') is a work filled with life, both comic and tragic. The Penguin English Library - 100 editions of the best fiction in English, from the eighteenth century and the very first novels to the beginning of the First World War.

The Chimes
Trotty Veck, an elderly porter, has read so many newspaper reports about crime and immorality that he believes the working classes are irredeemable. But, on New Year's Eve, summoned to the church tower by a mysterious chiming, Trotty witnesses his own death, and is taken on a ghostly journey that will force him to reassess his conviction. One of Dickens' 'Christmas stories', The Chimes is charming and surprising manifesto for empathy for our fellow man.

Los mejores cuentos de Charles Dickens
A lo largo de su vida, Charles Dickens dio muestras de su excelencia literaria a través de sus célebres cuentos, dando pinceladas de buen gusto y demostrando un total dominio del idioma, apreciando como nadie las palabras. Aquí hemos seleccionado los que nos parecían más destacados de todos ellos y que nos aportaban un mayor valor añadido para hacernos eco de la verdadera magnitud del conjunto de la obra del autor. El guardavía, la historia de un espectro que intenta avisar de una catástrofe; El auxiliar de parroquia, una interesante historia de amor; Historia de los goblins que raptaron a un enterrador, para muchos un primer borrador de Canción de Navidad donde se pueden apreciar las semejanzas entre Scrooge y el enterrador Gabriel Grub; Confesión encontrada en una cárcel en la época de Carlos II, la historia terrorífica de un asesinato que produce verdaderos escalofríos; Para ser tomado con una pizca de sal, una historia para llorar con todas las reservas posibles; Para leer cuando anochezca, ambientado en los Alpes occidentales mientras se respira el espíritu de esas cumbres, y El barón de Grogzwig, que cuenta con humor y cierta sátira cómo éste, por conveniencias sociales, se olvida drásticamente de sus placeres personales al contraer matrimonio; son, sin duda, sus obras cortas más destacadas, como podrá comprobar en la lectura que le espera a continuación.
