El título" Historia de dos ciudades" hace referencia a París y Londres en los años sacudidos por los muchos y dramáticos acontecimientos que suscitó la Revolución Francesa. Tales son los polos de esta novela llena de accion y aventuras que salta de una orilla a otra del canal de la Mancha y que ofrece un vivo retrato del ambiente y los acontecimientos del Paris revolucionario dominado por la sombra de la guillotina. Entre los muchos y pintorescos personajes con que Charles Dickens (1812-1870) puebla sus paginas, sobresalen los de Charles Darnay y Sidney Carton, quienes, marcados por muy distintos origenes y peripecias vitales, acaban fundiendo sus existencias como dos caras de una misma moneda.Traduccion de Salustiano Maso

The Haunted Man and the Ghosts Bargain, A Fancy for Christmas-Time (better known as The Haunted Man and the Ghosts Bargain or simply as The Haunted Man) is a novella by Charles Dickens first published in 1848. It is the fifth and last of Dickenss Christmas novellas. The story is more about the spirit of the holidays than about the holidays themselves, harking back to the first in the series, A Christmas Carol. The tale centres on a Professor Redlaw and those close to him.Redlaw is a teacher of chemistry who often broods over wrongs done him and grief from his past.He is haunted by a spirit, who is not so much a ghost as Redlaws phantom twin and is "an awful likeness of himself...with his features, and his bright eyes, and his grizzled hair, and dressed in the gloomy shadow of his dress..." This spectre appears and proposes to Redlaw that he can allow him to "forget the sorrow, wrong, and trouble you have known...to cancel their remembrance..." Redlaw is hesitant at first, but finally agrees.As a consequence of the ghosts intervention, Redlaw is without memories of the painful incidents from his past. He experiences a universal anger that he cannot explain. His bitterness spreads to the Swidgers, the Tetterbys and his student. All become as wrathful as Redlaw himself. The only one who is able to avoid the bitterness is Milly.With this realization, the novel concludes with everyone back to normal and Redlaw, like Ebenezer Scrooge, a changed, more loving man. Now a whole person, Redlaw learns to be humble at Christmas.

"Di tutti i miei libri" confesso Charles Dickens "amo soprattutto David Copperfield. Nessuno potra mai, leggendola, credere in questa narrazione piu di quanto non vi abbia creduto io mentre la scrivevo." E in effetti ben pochi scrittori hanno saputo catturare in modo piu efficace le emozioni dell''infanzia e la sorpresa, la magia e il terrore del mondo quali li vedono gli occhi di un bambino. In realta le avventurose esperienze di David Copperfield adombrano le vicende che hanno contrassegnato la vita dell''autore, che tuttavia riesce ad andare ben oltre il banale autobiografismo. In questo suo meraviglioso affresco, insieme realistico e visionario, in cui i malvagi vengono sbeffeggiati e i buoni sono chiamati a una paradossale rivincita, Dickens descrive infatti con rara incisivita tutta una galleria di personaggi raccolti attorno alla figura del giovane protagonista, sino a formare una delle "commedie umane" piu lette di ogni tempo. Il favore con il quale il romanzo fu accolto fin dal suo primo apparire, nel 1850, non e mai venuto meno.

Fue maestro del genero narrativo, al que imprimio ciertas dosis de humor e ironia, practicando a la vez una aguda critica social. En su obra destacan las descripciones de gente y lugares, tanto reales como imaginarios. En ocasiones, utilizo el seudonimo "Boz".

My fathers family name being Pirrip, and my Christian name Philip, my infant tongue could make of both names nothing longer or more explicit than Pip. So, I called myself Pip, and came to be called Pip.I give Pirrip as my fathers family name, on the authority of his tombstone and my sister,Mrs. Joe Gargery, who married the blacksmith. As I never saw my father or my mother, and never saw any likeness of either of them (for their days were long before the days of photographs), my first fancies regarding what they were like were unreasonably derived from their tombstones.
