Halo, nama saya Finn, dan saya akan membantu kamu memahami buku ini.
Ini dia, dijelaskan seperti untuk anak usia 10 tahun:
Saat itu Revolusi Prancis: Paris lapar dan marah, London aman dan sombong, dan beberapa kehidupan terjerat di antara dua kota itu. Ada seorang pria yang diselamatkan dari kematian hidup hidup di penjara, seorang perempuan yang merajut nama nama orang yang dia inginkan mati, dan di akhir cerita, salah satu pengorbanan diri paling terkenal dalam seluruh sastra.
Buku lengkapnya dibaca dalam bahasa Inggris. Ini semua babnya:
When I was acting‚ with my children and friends‚ in Mr. Wilkie Collins’s drama of The Frozen Deep‚ I first conceived the main idea of this story. A strong desire was upon me then to embody it in my own person; and I traced out in my fancy the state of mind which it would necessitate the presentation to an observant spectator‚ with particular care and interest.
As the idea became familiar to me‚ it gradually shaped itself into its present form. Throughout its execution‚ it has had complete possession of me; I have so far verified what is done and suffered in these pages‚ as that I have certainly done and suffered it all myself.
Whenever any reference (however slight) is made here to the condition of the French people before or during the Revolution‚ it is truly made‚ on the faith of trustworthy witnesses. It has been one of my hopes to add something to the popular and picturesque means of understanding that terrible time‚ though no one can hope to add anything to the philosophy of Mr. Carlyle’s wonderful book.
