안녕하세요, 저는 Finn입니다. 이 책을 이해할 수 있도록 도와드릴게요.
10살 아이에게 설명하듯 말하면 이렇습니다:
French Revolution 시대예요. Paris는 굶주리고 분노하고, London은 안전하고 제멋에 취해 있으며, 몇 사람의 삶이 두 도시 사이에 얽혀요. 감옥에서 살아 있는 죽음 같은 상태에서 구출된 남자, 죽이고 싶은 사람들의 이름을 뜨개질하는 여자, 그리고 마지막에는 문학 전체에서 가장 유명한 자기희생 중 하나가 나와요.
책 전체는 영어로 읽습니다. 모든 장은 여기 있습니다:
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.
