Charles Dickens used Paris almost as a disparate character in his novel A Tale of Two Cities, moving the action back and forth between there and London, with dramatic contrast. In Martin Chuzzlewit, two of his British characters travel to the United States, with near-fatal results. The Dorrit family, in Little Dorrit, goes to Europe when they are made wealthy, though the journey doesn't make them happier.Additionally, in non-fiction, Dickens wrote American Notes following a tour of the United States that was somewhat critical of things he saw there, including slavery. During a year in Genoa with his family, he wrote Pictures from Italy, using his letters to his good friend John Forster back in England.
