Today, I finally read the book of two cities by the British writer Charles Dickens. After reading this book, I was in a long mood.
Novels in the 18th century French revolution as the background, the story will be in Paris, London, link up the two big cities, a narrative horse nate doctor is full of love and adventure, interspersed with the noble's cruelty, people's anger, trial spy... It mainly reveals the social order of the British and French in that period, and the life of the nobles and the ordinary people.
The book focuses on the fact that poor Dr Manette, who had been imprisoned in the bastille for 19 years by the aristocracy, had his daughter taken to live in England. In court, the father and daughter met the French nobleman darley and the poor master carton. Later, manette's daughter Lucy and darley married, and after ten years of happy family life, caton also gave Lucy a promise to make Lucy happy.
The people living in poor and helpless, cold and hunger, the plight of poor sickness repeatedly, suffered oppression, their hearts a backlog of deep and deep hatred of nobility, finally triggered the French revolution to overthrow the regime, for freedom. After the outbreak of the French revolution, darley went to France to defend his innocent servant, but he was arrested for being a French aristocrat. And carton, in order to make the promise of lucie's life happy, used him to be similar to darley, and, before he was sentenced to death, he replaced him with Dudley, and replaced him with the guillotine.
The dark ages have passed, the days of hope and light have come, and the darkness is terrible! At first, the world belongs to the king, and later, the world belongs to the people. On July 13, 1789, the people stormed the bastille, where political prisoners were held; On January 21, 1793, the revolution brought king Louis xvi to the guillotine, which symbolized the end of feudal rule. On 20 February 1793, the first republic of France was established.
The 18th century, full of darkness and oppression, is gone, and the miserable life of the people is over. We have ushered in the 21st century, which is to be bathed in hope, and the long years from that era to today are as brief as they were yesterday. I think that the spirit of carton is worthy of our study, he is affectionate, he keeps his promise, in order to fulfill his promise to Lucy, at all costs, including precious life.
The people of today will never let history repeat itself, nor will history repeat itself. Let us live each day and make our 21st century more glorious!
英文版双城记的读后感 篇2
"A tale of two cities" is hailed as the most outstanding representative of the French revolution, and I think the biggest reason may be because it is different. Unlike other works, such as Carlisle's "the French revolution", dickens was more concerned with the joys and sorrows of the people at the bottom. In those days, though, the little figures themselves did not draw the world's attention. But the author's keen capture of these little figures and the great revolution is inextricably linked, and arguably the French revolution itself was inspired by the power of the little people.
The French revolution was a mark of blood in human history. In that chaotic era, full of uncertainty; In such a state of disorder, all human nature is revealed. A tale of two cities by the French revolution as the background, through to race hatred between civilians and conflict, the author want to convey the dickens -- - unable to wash away hatred, blood cannot replace love -- - more aristocratic tyranny to civilians caused pain will not heal, because blood civilians to hatred cannot replace love for lost relatives. In the story, Dr Menet was freed from prison to live with his daughter in London.
Five years later, they testified in court for the French youth, Charles Darnay, who married darnay in love. In 1792, the French revolution broke out and the scene moved to France. Darnay, who had been arrested and sentenced to death for being a descendant of the aristocracy, had been in love with Lucy's English youth, Sidney, at the critical moment. Carton took the guillotine for him. Carden is one of the most attractive and complex characters in the book. Decadent, negative, at school, he only writes homework for classmates; After society, even with all the talent, it still chose to work for another lawyer. But beneath his cold exterior, there was a deep tenderness.
With this a welcome tenderness and love for Lucy, cardan made a significant decision - - instead of the guillotine dyer that -- - with his own life in exchange for another person's life, in return for a family's happiness and smile. It was the act of carden guarding Lucy, sacrificing for love, how noble it was in that great age, even in modern times! Compared with the tenderness and love of the representative, Mrs. Dofstone was a symbol of bloodshed and bloodshed. The death of a loved one in the hands of darnay's father and uncle, she lived for a lifetime of hatred; For the death of darnay's family, he had no need of it, and at last he was killed by a fire. The bloodlust of Mrs. Dauphin was a terrible shock, but it also made people sigh the power of hate, and make the woman who should be happy and happy to be the Nemesis. At the end of the eighteenth century, France was burned into asurra hell by this perverse and vengeful flame. Lessons and meanings cannot be forgotten by the years. If we can't get something out of it, the same tragedy will happen again. Two hundred years later, we hope that we can create a new century of true equality, freedom and fraternity in this generation.
英文版双城记的读后感 篇3
The tale of two cities is a historical story, one of Dickens’ long fictions.The background to the novel is the revolution of France .It portrayed a brutal and bloody story , but it also contained love and friendship.
In the novel, Dickens sarcastically described a typical cruel nobleman—marquis of Evermonde . When he was young he and his brother stole a countrywoman by force and killed her family .What’s worse , he used his power to imprison Dr Manette , a kind and honest man who knew all the things they had done and wanted to disclose their crimes . In order to hide their crimes. Marquis of Evermonde and his brother threw Doctor Manette into prison for 18 years . During these 18 years,Doctor Manette lost his freedom and suffer a great in spirit .
I felt unthinkable that Marquis of Evermonde and his brother killed people just as easily as they killed chickens. They deprived other people’s freedom as they liked and they thought it was normal and unremarkable. They had never realized that they had done something wrong or something improper. Because their nature was cruel and evil, like demons. There is an old saying which means: People who commit too many crimes will kill themselves. After all, there is justice in the world. The demons can’t be rampant forever. Because the world will not forgive them. They will pay their lives for their crimes. Let’s see the consequence of the Marquis,’’He lay there like a stone with a knife pushed into his heart.” I think it was just what he ought to gain and it is a real exciting scene.
The Marquis’ death was just the beginning of people’s resistance to the nobleman. Gradually more and more people joined in the revolution. One after another nobleman were sentenced to death and their heads were cut down . However, some innocent people were implicated in the revolution. Charles Darney was one of them He was the nephew of Marquis of Evermonde. To the opposite of his uncle, Darney was a kind and independent young man.
Dickens spoke highly of kindness mercy and love in the novel too. This is the other thone of the novel when Doctor Manette was released from prison. It was his daughter Lucie who took care of him and helped him return to normal. During this time, Dr manette and Lucie knew Charles Darney and Sydeny Carton, the two young man fell in love with Lucie at the same time . At last, Lucie married Chares Darney .Dr Manette accepted Darney as his son-in-law although he knew that Darney was the nephew of the man who threw him into prison for18 years. This is the love between father and daughter. And Sydeny Carton , the very great man ,loved Lucie deeply. He promised Lucie that he would do everything for her happiness. He did it truely ,he sacrificed himself instead of Darney who looked the same as him. This is love for lovers . This is the most wonderful thing in the world. It also reminds us that no matter how no matter when there is true love existing. At the end , Lucie, Dr Manette and Darney arrived in England safely.
The tale of two cities is different from other historical fictions. Its characters and main plots are fictional under the real background of the revolution of France. The author made the experience of the fictional charactor Dr Manette as the main clue.The plots are complicated, and they are flexuous and dramatic. The structure is complete and rigorous.
Dickens had dear love and hate. He praised those who ought to be praised and attacked those who ought to be attacked. The motivation of the novel maybe just warn the English dominators. But I think we can learn something meaningful from the tale of two cities.

My Opinions About A Tale of Two Cities
A Tale of Two Cities was written by Charles Dickens, who was born in Portsmouth, England in 1812. As the second of eight children, Dickens had to go to work at the age of twelve to support his poor family, and he lived a difficult childhood. This troublesome time scarred him deeply and provided him with substantial material for such stories as Oliver Twist, David Copperfield, and Great Expectations. Though just accepted only little education, Dickens became a famous writer through his struggling self-learning and extremely hard work, and he was the representative writer of realism in the 19th century.
Charles Dickens lived in the period of transition between feudalism and capitalism, when the industrial revolution originated in England swept through Europe. As large numbers of workers invaded into urban centers to earn a living, the bourgeois took advantages of the surplus of labor by keeping wages low. The poor thus remained poor, and often lived in a narrow and filthy environment. Dickens’ writing depicted various directions about this society, and provided a keen, sympathetic chronicle of the plight of the urban poor.
A Tale of Two Cities mainly about the great atrocities of French aristocrats compelled the poor citizens to resist violently. Doctor Manette spent eighteen years as a prisoner in Bastille because he intended to expose the atrocity after learning that
Marquis Evrémonde killed a beautiful farmwife and her younger brother because of his brother’s lust. After Doctor Manette was free again, his daughter Lucie got married with Charles Darnay, Marquis Evrémonde’s nephew, but chose to live in England because he could not accept the cruel injustices of the French social system and the snobbish and cruel values of his uncle. However, Marquis Evrémonde continued his atrocities. After his crazy carriage crushed over a farmer’s little baby as if nothing happen, he was killed at night. A revolutionary storm was brewing. Mr. and Mrs.Defarge were the revolutionaries in the poor Saint Antoine section of Paris. They wanted to kill all French aristocrats, including Charles Darnay. Mr.Defarge used to be Doctor Manette’s servant, so he was kind to Manettes, while his wife’s heart burned with longing for revenge. At last, Charles Darnay was judged to death, But Sydney Carton, a lawyer who loved Lucie deeply, willing to die instead of Darnay, as they had similar appearance.
From my personal point of view, the person A Tale of Two Cities described astounded me very much. Some of them were cruel, crazy and reasonless, while some of them were kind, moral and had own mind.
Sydney Carton was the person I thought the most. He was a smart attorney, without his help, Mr. Stryver could not solve any cases. But he was lazy, alcoholic, and cared nothing and nobody, he even could not find any interests in his own life, it seems that he lived just for wasting life. But he loved Lucie deeply. Finally, hebecame a hero, because he sacrificed his life to save Darnay. I didn’t know why the author spent so many words to form such a strange guy at frist, he used his life to love Lucie, after all. But now, I caught it. Perhaps the terrible Carton symbolized the terrible old France, and his change in the end shown that everything could change, including the old France, a new and fine society would replace the violence.
Then, Charles Darnay. He was worthy of esteem or respect. He displayed great virtue in his rejection of his uncle, Marquis Evrémonde. Money and power meant nothing to him, if they came from exploitation and oppression. Even though he had to inherit his uncle’s bequest, he left them to the poor and lived in London throught his own effort. When he realized that he must go back to Paris to help Gabelle, one of his servants, and make right the wrong his uncle had done, he acted without hesitation because he knew that was his duty. He even refused Carton’s help after he was judged to death. I thought, Charles Darnay was a shiny diamond in that cruel and violent society, and he was a hope, the hope of equality and peace.
Third, Mrs.Defarge. How crazy this woman was. Nobody could stop her steps toward revenge, except the death. Although it said that wherever there is oppression, there is resistance, I didn’t agree with Mrs.Defarge totally. Her resistance was inhumane, insensible and endless. For just as the aristocracy’s oppression had made an oppressor Mrs.Defarge herself, so will her oppression, in turn, make oppressors her victims. In the end of the novel, her death by a bullet from her own gun. It shown the
author’s belief that inordinate retaliated lust would destroy one own self.
On the whole, A Tale of Two Cities is a successful novel. It shows us oppression and resistance, violence and terror, revolution and vengeance, love and friendship.
I am lucky enough to live in the 21st century, when peace and development are pursued all along. Nowadays, there also are many problems and dissensions among this world, but violence does not the best way problems are solved. Violence just creates more problems, something every sensible person knows. What we need are talks and communication. The time A Tale of Two Cities mentions has gone, we should do enough preparation to adapt the coming age.
英文版双城记的读后感 篇5
A tale of two cities is written by Charles Dickens, one of America's greatest writers. He was born in 1812 in Portsmouth and died in 1870. He was born poor, but soon after his unhappy childhood he became rich and successful. He also wrote many famous novels, such as oliver twist. Great expectations and so on.
The tale of a tale of two cities was written in 1775. In a room above a tavern in Paris, there was a white-haired man who was busy making shoes. He had been a prisoner in the bastille for 18 years. Now he was a free man, yet he did not know his name, and he did not eat his friends. All he knew was that he had to keep making shoes.
On a bus to Paris, she sat on lucie, the daughter she had never seen before. Lucie brought her father back to London, and, with the love and care of her daughter, he forgot about the past and learned to live as a free man.
Yet during the stormy years of the French revolution, the past was neither lost nor forgotten. And so soon the danger secretly brought lucie and the people she loved back to Paris... There was the horrible death machine - the guillotine waiting for the enemies of France.
The protagonist here is clearly debunking the darkness and corruption of the society at that time. One original for the 18 years as a prisoner, what also don't remember the man, then is he had never met the daughter "back to London, started a free life, but in the end, his daughter and she loved ones were returned to Paris of darkness, by the French enemies killed!
英文版双城记的读后感 篇6
I believe that everyone who has seen a tale of two cities will be impressed by the shock. The book by dickens, a famous British writer, is immortal! Classic is classic, no matter how many years later, classics still sending out the bright luster, the ups and downs, what's more, the book story unimaginable a bizarre plot twists and turns, the master is the master, to make you know the story is fictional, but still as the story of the people and things, or moved, or anger, or sadness, or tears, don't you don't admire master ability of fiction.
Dickens in a tale of two cities revealed before the outbreak of the French revolution, the nobility of the ruthless oppression, depending on the masses of poor people mean dog, failure, and finally an outbreak of the French revolution, poor people after long-term brutal oppression, crazy revenge for the noble class, the same ruthless trial authority and the judgment of their lives, blood is blood, blinded by hate glasses, blood excited nerve, head to the ground, but vengeance will solve the problem? Can you live a happy life? This is the question dickens raised in his book. If the authorities have more compassion and more love for the people, so that everyone will not be oppressed, or the revolution will not break out, we must know that the working people's demands on society are very low and low! The revolution should be a warning to those in power. Worth fortunately, in the 20th century, we this s our authorities, whether China, wen jiabao, or Mr Obama in the United States, they are put forward for all to common prosperity, let everyone enjoy the fruit of social and economic development, they think that favor the rich society not only moral, also a serious threat to social stability.
Love and tolerance is the good idea, because saw a pair of noble brother destroyed the crimes of a poor family, was framed in the bastille 18 years of doctor, doctor angry in prison, he secretly recorded the persecuted, vowed to heaven and earth, accused of aristocrats and their children and grandchildren, until the last one, in the years of imprisonment, the doctor lost his head, do the shoes has become the only sustenance to sustain life. After his release from prison, his father returned to his senses with his daughter's deep love for his father. With great love and tolerance, he agreed to the marriage of his daughter.
When with a picture of the ceiling look up court appearance of Mr. Carlton, gives the impression of how unruly and arrogant, although he talented, although he has a heart of precious, but because of the darkness of the society, he chose the debauchery, chose the cynicism, chose the ceremony, Carlton love Lucy how pure and selfless, he chose when Lucy happiness silently blessing, secretly guardian beside her, when Lucy need a bailout, he chose to his own life in exchange for Lucy her husband's life, to ensure the happiness of Lucy, although I do not believe that the world really can have such feelings, but I still deep compassion, pity, Carlton, great respect for his feelings, hope all tender belong to him, to comfort his wounded heart.
The children who were persecuted by the aristocrats, the hatred of the heart, the revenge became the knife axe, the symbol of the vengeance, the death of the goddess of vengeance is not a metaphor for the price of revenge?
Hatred, tolerance, love! This all let us deeply ponder introspection! Carlton's words are supposed to be all the best footnote: this age of sin, and bring forth the previous era of nature of sin to offset by themselves, and gradually disappeared, a beautiful peace loving era will be born!
After reading the story, do you still have jingling shoes in your mind? Still in the doctor's gloom, sad helplessness and tears of anger? Still in tears for carton? Still sighing for madame Defarge? I think you must be in the doctor family finally happy peace and silent blessing!

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way
Charles Dickens（1812～1870），one of the greatest novelist in England. I have read his A tale of two cities .And this is the beginning of the book.
“A Tale of Two Cities”, one of Dickens’ works, is a well-known long story. And it has a great influence on the society at that time. When I saw the title at first, I thought it might tell something about the developing process of two cities, which might be no fun. However, after reading it , I found I had been wrong.
It portrays a brutal, bloody and revengeful society as well as love and friendship. It happened before and after the Revolution in France. The ruthless and cruel landowners and noblemen exploited the miserable people who owned nothing, but these poor people worked for others day and night. Noblemen had the power that one word would doubtlessly send others to prison. As time passed by, the noise of the coming-up revolution storm in Paris was growing louder and louder. At last, it was on the fourteenth of July, 1789 that the revolution broke out.
“The Bastille and its officers were in the hands of people, and the people wanted revenge and blood.” The true Freedom of France came. “The Guillotine, the new machine of death, cut off the heads of many, many people—not only the powerful and the cruel, but also the beautiful, the innocent, and the good.” Among the good, there was a man called Darney. Even though his father, wife and friends knew he was innocent, the people thought he was the enemy and would go to the Guillotine.
In spite of a shadow of fear and hate here and there, we can also see the great and kind persons. I think the greatest person is Mr. Manette who had been a prisoner in the Bastille for eighteen years. What he suffered was difficult to imagine, but he was still kind and loved his daughter. He did his best to save his son-in-law, whose father and uncle were the men that had ever sent him to prison. Another great man is the lawyer, Sydney Carton, a friend of Darney. Before Darney went to Guillotine, Mr. Carton changed places with him and he said, “It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever know.” Besides, the story is full of love, including the love between father and daughter, the love between husband and wife, the love among friends and so on. In short, only if you have love in your heart, the life is meaningful. At the same time, the revenge will run away with you, freedom and happiness will be around you.
There is no doubt that Charles Dickens is one of the greatest writers
in English. From this book, I see some true lives and moving stories from the old ages. I think you must feel the same as me that we don’t want to live in that condition. To be frank, we all look forward to living in a peaceful and love situation. Though the present life has improved a lot, there are still wars in some places. All that we need is to solve the problems in peaceful ways instead of by force. So let’s work hard together in order to make our life much more meaningful and happier, make our society more harmonious.
