Charles Dickens' "A Tale of Two Cities" is a captivating historical novel that transcends time. Set against the backdrop of the French Revolution, it seamlessly weaves together narratives of love, loss, societal upheaval, and the enduring strength of the human spirit. Dickens' masterful storytelling transports you to both London and Paris, painting vivid portraits of characters caught in the throes of historical change. While the novel's sentimentality was not always to my personal taste, its literary merit and historical context remain undeniable.

Review of 'Die schwarze Spinne' on 'Goodreads'
3 Sterne
Ein Bauernpaar opfert sich, um ihr Dorf von einer Plage zu befreien, die durch einen Pakt mit dem Teufel ausgelöst wurde. In zwei Zeitebenen zeigt die Geschichte die Folgen des Teufelsbündnisses und die Erlösung durch selbstloses Handeln. Insgesamt schon etwas angestaubt romantische Biedermaiergeschichte, die mich nicht wirklich überzeugt hat.
