Abstract AR

في الروايات التاريخية تعكس الشخصيات الخيالية تأثير الأحداث الواقعية على الأشخاص الذين عاشوا تلك الحقبة من التاريخ.

و هكذا لا يمكن اعتبار العمل سجلا تاريخيا صرفا و إنما أدبا قصصيا يصور أحداث حقبة سابقة تنسجها أفراح و هموم أبطال الرواية. يهدف هذا البحث لتقصي الحقائق التاريخية المسجلة في قصة "قصة مدينتين" للكاتب الروائي تشارلز ديكنز.

Abstract EN

In "historical" fiction, characters that never really existed, give expression to the impact of historical events on the people who really did live through them.

The result is not history, as an accurate record of actual events, but fiction in which an earlier age is rendered through the personal joys and sufferings of characters.

This paper aims at investigating the historical realities presented in Dickens’s A Tale of Two Cities.
