“It was a dark winter day, and what with the shadows within, and what with the shadows without, he could but dimly discern the others who were brought there to have their arms bound. Some were standing; some seated. Some were lamenting, and in restless motion; but these were few. The great majority were silent and still, looking fixedly at the ground.” – A Tale of Two Cities, Charles Dickens

About Charles Dickens

Charles John Huffam Dickens (1812–1870) is the greatest novelist of the Victorian period. Dickens exploded onto the literary scene with The Pickwick Papers, and quickly became the most popular novelist of his time. He has created some of the most memorable characters in literature, and his moving stories remain immensely popular today. Dickens wrote 15 novels, five novellas, and hundreds of short stories and nonfiction articles. His works offered humorous characters and profound social commentaries, and Dickens actively advocated for children’s rights and social reform. Bleak House was particularly effective in stirring social change, eventually leading to a reform of the judicial system it criticized. Dickens’ novel A Tale of Two Cities is the best-selling novel of all time. His works have never gone out of print and have been reproduced in numerous adaptations.
