The Very Best Of Charles Dickens ( Short Stories )

This compilation contains three of Dicken's greatest works: A Christmas Carol, A Tale of Two Cities, and Great Expectations. A Christmas Carol tells of sour and stingy Ebenezer Scrooge's ideological, ethical, and emotional transformation aafter the supernatural visitations of Jacob Marley and the Ghosts of Christmases Past, Present, and Yet to Come The novella met with instant success and critical acclaim. A Tale of Two Cities is set in London and Paris before and during the French Revolution. The novel depicts the plight of the French peasantry demoralized by the French aristocracy in the years leading up to the revolution, the corresponding brutality demonstrated by the revolutionaries toward the former aristocrats in the early years of the revolution, and many unflattering social parallels with life in London during the same time period. It follows the lives of several protagonists through these events. The most notable are Charles Darnay and Sydney Carton. Darnay is a French once-aristocrat who falls victim to the indiscriminate wrath of the revolution despite his virtuous nature, and Carton is a dissipated British barrister who endeavours to redeem his ill-spent life out of his unrequited love for Darnay's wife, Lucie Manette. Great Expectations is the story of the orphan Pip, writing about his life (and attempting to become a gentleman along the way). The novel, like much of Dickens' work, draws on his experiences of life and people. The main plot of Great Expectations takes place between Christmas Eve 1812, when the protagonist is about seven years old (and which happens to be the year of Dickens' birth), and the winter of 1840
