{"title":"Charles Dickens","description":"Charles Dickens was born on February 7, 1812, in Landport, Portsea, England. He died in Kent on June 9, 1870. The second of eight children of a family continually plagued by debt, the young Dickens came to know not only hunger and privation, but also the horror of the infamous debtors' prison and the evils of child labor. A turn of fortune in the shape of a legacy brought release from the nightmare of prison and \"slave\" factories and afforded Dickens the opportunity of two years' formal schooling at Wellington House Academy. He worked as an attorney's clerk and newspaper reporter until his Sketches by Boz (1836) and The Pickwick Papers (1837) brought him the amazing and instant success that was to be his for the remainder of his life. In later years, the pressure of serial writing, editorial duties, lectures, and social commitments led to his separation from Catherine Hogarth after twenty-three years of marriage. It also hastened his death at the age of fifty-eight, when he was characteristically engaged in a multitude of work.","products":[{"product_id":"a-christmas-carol-being-a-ghost-story-of-christmas-deluxe-illustrated-leatherbound-edition-hardcover","title":"A Christmas Carol: Being a Ghost Story of Christmas (Deluxe Illustrated Leatherbound Edition) - Hardcover","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cem\u003eFeatures original color illustrations, gilt edges, and a vegan leather binding with deluxe stamping\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cem\u003eIncludes Charles Dickens's complete and unabridged original text\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Victorians knew that the end of the year is a precipice, a time of change and transition.

He has information that her father, Dr. Alexandre Manette, who had disappeared eighteen years ago, is alive. He had been wrongfully imprisoned in the Bastille and left there to die. Lucie is shaken when she learns that her father is still living. On reaching Paris, they go to the house of Monsieur Defarge, a wine-seller. He had been Dr. Manette's servant and has taken care of him after his release from prison. Both Mr. Lorry and Lucie are shocked to see the terrible state Doctor Manette is in. He has aged prematurely, having lost both his memory and his sense. He spends his time cobbling shoes. The revolutionary ardor and hatred against oppression are fanned every time Defarge and his associates look at this wreck of a man, who has been a victim of the aristocracy. Mr. Lorry and Lucie take her father back to London. With love and compassion, Lucie plans to nurse her father back to health and sanity. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003e Five years later, in 1780, a young Frenchman, named Charles Darnay, is accused of being a traitor and a spy.

The evidence against him is overwhelming as the prosecution produces a number of witnesses who swear that he is a spy. The onlookers, too, mentally condemn him and are waiting for the death sentence to be pronounced. However, it is Sydney Carton, an advocate present in the courtroom, who points out the resemblance between the prisoner and himself to the defense lawyer Mr. Stryver. The jury thus realizes that it could be a case of mistaken identity, and Darnay is acquitted. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Years pass, and both Darnay and Carton fall in love with Lucie Manette. Carton is a lawyer who wastes his life in drinking and idling. Lucie has no interest in him; instead, she marries Darnay. He is a French aristocrat who has renounced his inheritance and now lives in London under an assumed name and works as a tutor. His uncle, the Marquis St. Evremonde, is a notorious man renowned for his cruelty and callousness; he has lived the life of a profligate and has no respect for human life. This is emphasized in two incidents that take place while he drives home from a royal reception. He kills a child on the streets and refuses to help a poor widow in need of a tombstone to mark her husband's grave. That very night he is murdered in bed. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e The French Revolution breaks out in all its fury with the storming of the Bastille. In London, Darnay has been happily married to Lucie for eleven years, and they have a beautiful daughter. On hearing that Gabelle, his steward in France, has been erroneously arrested, Darnay secretly returns to Paris to save his faithful servant. He is caught and imprisoned. On hearing of her husband's capture, Lucie, her daughter, Dr. Manette, and Mr. Lorry rush to Paris to save him. Dr. Manette, himself a victim of oppression, convinces the people of his son-in-law's innocence, and Darnay is discharged. Madame Defarge, however, seeks personal revenge against the Evremonde family, for the cruel Marquis had molested her sister and killed her brother. Largely because of her, Darnay is re-arrested, tried, and sentenced to death. There is no hope of saving him. Even the lives of Lucie and her daughter are in danger as the hard-core revolutionaries, like the Defarges, would like to eliminate anyone who has a connection with aristocracy. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e The story ends dramatically when Sydney Carton decides to save Darnay's life by taking his place. He gains entry into the prison, drugs Darnay, and with the help of Mr. Lorry gets him out of danger. The Darnay family flees back to England while Carton sacrifices his life for Darnay, his look-alike. The sacrifice is made to fulfill a promise to Lucie whom he loves. Carton feels noble about his action and knows that he will live in the hearts of the Darnays forever. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50101555298527,"sku":"9781912714964","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/OHpPc0xpc0pzNml0V1p3MHZvTUtwZz09.webp?v=1781071715"},{"product_id":"oliver-twist-paperback-1","title":"Oliver Twist - Mass Market Paperbound","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/reportcopyrightinfringement.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eReport copyright infringement\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eby \u003cb\u003eCharles Dickens\u003c\/b\u003e (Author), \u003cb\u003eFrederick Busch\u003c\/b\u003e (Introduction by), \u003cb\u003eEdward Le Comte\u003c\/b\u003e (Afterword by)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOne of the great novelist's most popular works, \u003ci\u003eOliver Twist\u003c\/i\u003e is also the purest distillation of Dickens's genius. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis tale of the orphan who is reared in a workhouse and runs away to London is a novel of social protest, a morality tale, and a detective story. \u003ci\u003eOliver Twist\u003c\/i\u003e presents some of the most sinister characters in Dickens: the master thief, Fagin; the leering Artful Dodger; the murderer, Bill Sikes...along with some of his most sentimental and comical characters.

The novella met with instant success and critical acclaim. A Christmas Carol tells the story of a bitter old miser named Ebenezer Scrooge and his transformation into a gentler, kindlier man after visitations by the ghost of his former business partner Jacob Marley and the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come. The tale begins on a \"cold, bleak, biting\" Christmas Eve in London, exactly seven years after the death of Scrooge's business partner Jacob Marley. Scrooge, an old miser, is established within the first stave as \"a squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching, covetous, old sinner \" He hates Christmas, calling it \"humbug\"; he refuses his nephew Fred's Christmas dinner invitation, and he sarcastically turns away two gentlemen who seek a donation from him to provide a Christmas dinner for the poor and needy.

It is Dickens's second novel, after David Copperfield, to be fully narrated in the first person.

In October 1861, Chapman and Hall published the novel in three volumes.\u003cbr\u003e It is set among marshes in Kent, and in London, in the early to mid-1800s, and contains some of Dickens' most memorable scenes, including the opening, in a graveyard, where the young Pip is accosted by the escaped convict, Abel Magwitch. GREAT EXPECTATIONS is full of extreme imagery -poverty; prison ships and chains, and fights to the death-and has a colorful cast of characters who have entered popular culture. Dickens's themes include wealth and poverty, love and rejection, and the eventual triumph of good over evil. GREAT EXPECTATIONS is popular both with readers and literary critics, and has been translated into many languages, and adapted numerous times into various media.\u003cbr\u003e Upon its release, the novel received near universal acclaim. Thomas Carlyle spoke disparagingly of \"all that Pip's nonsense\". Later, George Bernard Shaw praised the novel, as \"All of one piece and consistently truthful.\" During the serial publication, Dickens was pleased with public response to GREAT EXPECTATIONS and its sales; when the plot first formed in his mind, he called it \"a very fine, new and grotesque idea.\" (more on www.wisehouse-classics.com)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50104248533215,"sku":"9789176372371","price":24.12,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/6VpykoFee99789176372371.webp?v=1781104495"},{"product_id":"a-vintage-christmas-a-collection-of-classic-stories-and-poems-paperback","title":"A Vintage Christmas: A Collection of Classic Stories and Poems - Paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis beautiful, giftable Christmas collection features 23 old-fashioned works from classic authors who invite you to a feast of holiday nostalgia.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eA Vintage Christmas\u003c\/em\u003e includes stories from Louisa May Alcott, Charles Dickens, Ralph Henry Barbour, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Mark Twain, L.

Johnson, has said that--except for the author's last-minute tampering with his original ending--\"Great Expectations is \"the most perfectly constructed and perfectly written of all Dickens's works.\" In John Irving's Introduction to this edition, the novelist takes the view that Dickens's revised ending is \"far more that mirror of the quality of trust in the novel as a whole.\" Both versions of the ending are printed here.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50108509978847,"sku":"9780553213423","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/1sgLywktZ79780553213423.webp?v=1781222674"},{"product_id":"a-tale-of-two-cities-mass-market-paperbound","title":"A Tale of Two Cities - Mass Market Paperbound","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCharles Dickens' masterpiece of historical fiction about injustice, sacrifice, and redemption, set against the French Revolution\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. . . .\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo begins Charles Dickens' \u003ci\u003eA Tale of Two Cities, \u003c\/i\u003ea masterful pageant of idealism, love, and adventure during the French Revolution. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAfter nearly two decades, Lucie Manette's father is released from his unjust imprisonment in the Bastille.
