Historia de dos ciudades
Dickens, Charles

Language: Spanish | Category: Novel (Historical) | Audio Book: Not Available

El Londres pacífico pero grotesco del rey Jorge III y el París clamoroso y ensangrentado de la Revolución Francesa son las dos ciudades sobre cuyo fondo se escribe esta inolvidable historia de intriga apasionante. Violentas escenas de masas, estallidos de hambre y venganza, espías y conspiradores, héroes fracasados y héroes a su pesar se mezclan en una trama artística y perfecta, llena de sorpresas y magistralmente elaborada por un Dickens en uno de sus mejores momentos creativos.
«Cuando representaba, con mis hijos, la obra de Wilkie Collins Profundidades heladas, di forma por primera vez a la idea central de esta historia. Sentí un gran deseo entonces de personificarla en mí mismo; y tracé en mi imaginación, con particular interés y cuidado, el estado de ánimo que requería su exposición ante un espectador atento». Charles Dickens en el prólogo de Historia de dos ciudades.
Esta edición de Historia de dos ciudades incluye las ilustraciones originales de H. K. Browne («Phiz»), realizadas para su publicación en entregas en 1859.

Dickens, Charles - Little Dorrit - Language: English, Novel - Format: ePub, iSilo
Born in the Marshalsea Prison for Debtors, Amy—Little Dorrit—the daughter of the ruined, but self-respectful William Dorrit, has put her entire heart in caring for her dear father, until one day her humble path is crossed by (More) Arthur Clennam. Their meeting proves providential not only for Amy's life, but for the whole Dorrit family, whose new rise will, in many ways, be also their fall. As in all his novels, in Little Dorrit Dickens ushers us into a fascinating and startlingly rich world of human characters and destinies, where virtue and nobility cross swords with vice and villainy, where strength and weakness intertwine with prejudice and magnanimity and where the author's inspired pen wields a compelling and unforgettable power over the readers.
