A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens
4.0
Joseph Conard Said:
“The belief in a supernatural source of evil is not necessary; men alone are quite capable of every wickedness.”
I had to add that quote. This book is just to much.
The beginning is just too difficult to decipher at some places. Lucky for Charles Dickens that he is one of the most famous writers or many would have left the book due to its crazy difficult start.
The book is slow, slowly building, slow like the quiet before storm which Dickens unleashes by the end. Everything in this book builds up to something. Every character how useless and random they may seem play a certain part in this story.
In the beginning i felt that the characters were too puppet like, they felt more like porcelain dolls than real people. But slowly they start to feel more natural and more rooted. I think it was Dickens way of maturing them, inexperience is leaves us hollow with no real insight towards life, and experience comes from suffering and living. Tale of Two cities is ultimate book of sacrifice and what it can mean to love and set in most dreadful times when humanity in itself was questionable, and what it means to care.
"Crush humanity out of shape once more under simple hammers, and it will twist itself into same tortured forms. Sow the same seed of rapacious licence and oppression over again, and it will surely yield the same fruit according to its kind."
This book ends with a man finding meaning to his life, a man finding meaning to his suffering, a man finding meaning in his friendship, a woman finding meaning in loyalty, a woman finding meaning to care, a man finding meaning of goodness. all for, "A life you Love."
