Found this way deep in my YouTube "Watch Later" collection. It's a really nice guide to getting started with Charles Dickens including a recommended order for select books from Robert Douglas-Fairhurst. It is inspiring to see someone so passionate about their subject.
Sehr beklagenswert.
War das in der Politik schon jemals wirklich anders?
Hier ein Auszug aus dem, was der berühmte #CharlesDickens anlässlich seines Besuchs in Den #USA schrieb, bei dem er wie ein Popstar gefeiert wurde. Ich hätte jefoch mit mehr Suchen auch Ähnliches über den antiken Stadtstaat #Athen gefunden:

It was a great surprise to Scrooge, while thus engaged, to hear a hearty laugh. It was a much greater surprise to Scrooge to recognise it as his own nephew's and to find himself in a bright, dry, gleaming room,

Today in Labor History July 28, 1794: The authorities guillotined Robespierre, architect of the French Reign of Terror. Prior to the French Revolution, he had advocated for universal suffrage, and abolition of the death penalty and the Atlantic slave trade. There are too many historical novels set during the French Revolution to name them all. However, here are some of the most famous ones. “The Scarlet Pimpernel” (1905) by Baroness Orczy. “A Tale of Two Cities” (1859) by Charles Dickens. “Ninety-Three” (Quatrevingt-treize) by Victor Hugo. It was published in 1874, three years after the bloody upheaval of the Paris Commune.
