A Tale Of Two Cities by Charles Dickens
25 years ago Tom Tomorrow rose from the primordial ooze of 1991 and set about documenting the twisted political trappings of his surroundings. a collection of words and pictures which would come to form This Modern World. And he hasn't stopped since. Originally compiled to fulfill a lifetime dream of collecting his work in full (and made possible by the miracles of Kickstarter), the 15-pound behemoth 25 Years of Tomorrow collects every cartoon Tom has written and drawn--over 1,500 cartoons Enjoy early collage and cartoon experiments, interviews, rare illustrations, photos, Tom's all-too-accurate children's book The Very Silly Mayor, his Pearl Jam collaboration, and more. Tom Tomorrow (Dan Perkins) is the creator of This Modern World, a weekly cartoon of political and social satire which is featured on sites such as The Nation, Daily Kos, and Medium, and which has been a mainstay of the alternative press for more than two decades. His work has also appeared in publications including The New York Times, the New Yorker, Esquire, Spin, Mother Jones, US News and World Report, the Economist, and many others. He is a two-time recipient of the Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award, the 2013 recipient of the Herblock Prize for editorial cartooning, and a 2015 finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. He is the author of ten cartoon compilations and one book for children, and in 2009 created the artwork for the Pearl Jam album Backspacer.Charles Dickens (1812-1870) has been remembered in history as one of the greatest authors of the Victorian era. Not only having received tremendous success while he was alive, Charles Dickens' work continues to be read as voraciously as when it was first published. Because of his tremendous popularity, Charles Dickens has secured himself the position of not only being one of the greatest writers of his generation, but one of the most celebrated writers of all time. In addition to his writing, Charles Dickens was a prominent activist, dedicating much of his life to fighting for better social conditions for the poor as well as powerfully advocating for better laws to protect the rights of children. When a piece of literature refers to either unfair working and living conditions, or else portrays the state of a morally corrupt social class, the writing is thus referred to as Dickensian. Much of literary traditions thus owe their inspiration from the writing of Charles Dickens.
