"A Tale of Two Cities is Charles Dickens's great historical novel, set against the violent upheaval of the French Revolution. The most famous and perhaps the most popular of his works, it compresses an event of immense complexity to the scale of a family history, with a cast of characters that includes a bloodthirsty ogress and an antihero as believably flawed as any in modern fiction. Though the least typical of the author's novels, A Tale of Two Cities still underscores many of his enduring themes—imprisonment, injustice, social anarchy, resurrection, and the renunciation that fosters renewal."

"No human being has ever lived in closer harmony with tigers than the distinguished Indian naturalist Arjan Singh. For the past twenty-five years he has devoted his life to the study and support of the great cats, and this thrilling account is the result. In a wide ranging historical survey he shows that it was the Victorian Bristish who gave the tiger its bad name: always trying to kill it, they saw the animal only when it was being threatened, and so described it as a cruel and ravening monster. This attitude, continuing far into the present century, reduced tigers to the verge of extinction. Not until the launch of project TIger in the early 1970s did the tide begin to turn. The author played a unique part in the rescue operation, rearing and returning to the jungle a zoo-born tigress called Tara, whom he had acquired as a cub. It is his detailed observation of Tara… Read More
