4. A Tale of Two Cities
- A Story of French Revolution - Charles Dickens's
Charles Dickens's A Tale of Two Cities portrays a world on fire, split between Paris and London during the brutal and bloody events of the French Revolution. After eighteen years as a political prisoner in the Bastille the aging Dr Manette is finally released and reunited with his daughter in England. There, two very different men, Charles Darnay, an exiled French aristocrat, and Sydney Carton, a disreputable but brilliant English lawyer, become enmeshed through their love for Lucie Manette. From the tranquil lanes of London, they are all drawn against their will to the vengeful, bloodstained streets of Paris at the height of the Reign of Terror and soon fall under the lethal shadow of La Guillotine. This edition uses the text as it appeared in its first serial publication in 1859 to convey the full scope of Dickens's vision, and includes the original illustrations by H.K. Browne ('Phiz'). Richard Maxwell's introduction discusses the intricate interweaving of epic drama with personal tragedy.

5. Adventures of Tom Sawyer - Mark Twain
Tom
Sawyer, a mischievous young boy, lives in the fictional town of St. Petersburg,
Missouri with his Aunt Polly and half-brother Sid. Together with his friend
Huckleberry Finn, the son of a drunk, ruthless father, he accidentally
witnesses a murder. What unfolds in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876) is a
series of exhilarating events: both friends identify Injun Joe, the real
murderer, in court; testify to the innocence of the person wrongly accused and
find buried treasure in a haunted house.
In The
Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884), Huck escapes from the clutches of his
father and encounters Jim, a runaway slave. They embark on an exciting journey
along the Mississippi River, meeting different people and participating in
their unusual lives. With time, Huck finds himself in a moral dilemma over
societal values and his own friendship with Jim.
With The
Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn, Mark Twain presents a sharp
social commentary on 19th-century American life through scathing satire, folksy
humour, colloquial speech and coarse language.
