Pages : 488
Book Description
A Tale of Two Cities (1859) is the second historical novel by Charles Dickens, set in London and Paris before and during the French Revolution. It depicts the plight of the French proletariat under the brutal oppression of t+E3he French aristocracy in the years leading up to the revolution, and the corresponding savage brutality demonstrated by the revolutionaries toward the former aristocrats in the early years of the revolution. It follows the lives of several protagonists through these events, most notably Charles Darnay, a French once-aristocrat who falls victim to the indiscriminate wrath of the revolution despite his virtuous nature, and Sydney Carton, a dissipated English barrister who endeavours to redeem his ill-spent life out of love for Darnay's wife, Lucie Manette.

Trials of the Earth
Author: Mary Mann Hamilton
Publisher: Little, Brown
ISBN: 0316341363
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 336
Book Description
The astonishing first-person account of Mississippi pioneer woman struggling to survive, protect her family, and make a home in the early American South. Near the end of her life, Mary Mann Hamilton (1866 - c.1936) began recording her experiences in the backwoods of the Mississippi Delta. The result is this astonishing first-person account of a pioneer woman who braved grueling work, profound tragedy, and a pitiless wilderness (she and her family faced floods, tornadoes, fires, bears, panthers, and snakes) to protect her home in the early American South. An early draft of Trials of the Earth was submitted to a writers' competition sponsored by Little, Brown in 1933. It didn't win, and we almost lost the chance to bring this raw, vivid narrative to readers. Eighty-three years later, in partnership with Mary Mann Hamilton's descendants, we're proud to share this irreplaceable piece of American history. Written in spare, rich prose, Trials of the Earth is a precious record of one woman's extraordinary endurance and courage that will resonate with readers of history and fiction alike.

Excerpt from Trials, Vol. 1 of 2: A Tale Catherine, I desire that you don't interrupt your aunt, but attend to what she wishes to say to you observed 1\ir. Dorrington; and do, for heaven s sake, put that little beast of a'dog down; and he snatched him with violence from the lap of his poor little mistress, who, too much in terror of her father to rebel, sat in mute expectation of what she was to hear, trying from a variety of motives to suppress the tears, which could not, after all, be repelled; but which every now and then broke out in a stiļ¬ed sob, as her aunt and her father alternately laid down to her the various duties of an elegant young gentle woman; duties which, it must he confessed, poor Catherine was sadly remiss in performing.
