Description
A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens is a gripping novel set in London and Paris during the tumultuous years leading up to the French Revolution. This uncharacteristic work for Dickens lacks comic relief and a traditional protagonist, instead focusing on the turbulent lives of its two main cities. Originally published in thirty-one weekly installments in 1859, A Tale of Two Cities is a tale of injustice, revenge, rebirth, love, and sacrifice. The turmoil in this epic novel reflects the turmoil in Dickens' personal life at the time, adding depth to the narrative. This complete and unabridged edition features an introduction by English literature scholar Brian Bartell and a timeline of the life and times of Charles Dickens. A must-have for any literature lover, A Tale of Two Cities is part of the Chartwell Classics series, which presents beautifully presented works from some of the most important authors in literary history.
