Lesson 86:

About the French Revolution:

It broke out in July,1789. In the revolution, the poor of the cities and the peasants in the country rose up against the French King and the rich. In the country, the revolutionaries set fire to the nobles’ castles and burnt them to the ground. The nobles caught many people and put them into prison.

About Charles Dickens:

Charles Dickens was born in 1812 in England. When he was about four years of age, his family moved to Chatham, and five years he spent there were the happiest of all his boyhood.

In 1821 his family moved to a poor quarter in London. Because his father was heavily in debt and finally was taken to prison. From then on Charles Dickens began to work in a shoe factory in the east end of London. And this was the most unhappy time of all his life.

Then he began to study at a school again. When he was 15, he left school for good and became a lawyer’s clerk. In 1834, he was taken on the staff(工作人員) of a newspaper and went all over the country getting news, writing stories and so on. At this time he wrote some short stories. His early book the Pickwick Papers(匹克威克外傳) came into being. Thus, by the year he was only 24, he had become the most popular living novelist of his day.

The rest of his life is a story of work and work without rest. From 1838, he wrote many books, of which the most famous are Oliver Twist(霧都孤兒), David Copperfield(大衛.科波菲爾), Hard Times(艱難時世), A tale of Two Cities(雙城記), Great expectations(遠大前程)and so on. But he suddenly died in 1870, only at 58.

A Tale of Two Cities

A Tale of Two Cities is a novel written by Charles Dickens. The “two cities” refer to Paris, the scene of the story, and London, where the hero of the novel spent his remaining years. The book gives a vivid(鮮明的，生動的) description of the French bourgeois revolution.
