eigentlich wollte ich euch heute die letzte Ankündigung auflösen, allerdings bin ich mir noch nicht ganz einig und möchte euch daher, was interessantes erzählen.

Great Expectations
"Considered by many to be Dickens´finest novel. Great Expectations traces the growth of the book´s narrator, the orphan Philip Pirrip (Pip), from a boy of shallow dreams to a man with depth of character. From its famous dramatic opening on the bleak Kentish marshes, the story abounds with some of Dickens´most memorable characters. Among them are the kindly blacksmith Joe Gargery, the mysterious convict Abel Magwitch, the eccentric Miss Havisham and her beautiful ward Estella. Pip´s good-hearted room-mate Herbert Pocket and the pompous Pumblechook. As Pip unravels the truth behind his own ´great expectations´ in his quest to become a gentleman, the mysteries of the past and the convolutions of fate through a series of thrilling adventures serve to steer him towards maturity and his most important discovery of all - the truth about himself"

"A Tale of Two Cities (1859), Dickens´greatest historical novel, traces the private lives of a group of people caught up in the cataclysm of the French Revolution and the Terror. Dickens based his historical detail on Caryle´s great work - The French Revolution - and also on his own observations and investigations during numerous visits to Paris.
´The best story I have written´ was Dickens´ own verdict on A Tale of Two Cities, and the reader is unlikely to disagree with this judgement of a story which combines historical fact with the author´s unsurpassed genius for poignant tales of human suffering, self-sacrifice, and redemption."
Also gebt mir Zeit und ich denke, es wird super,
