Description
Charles Dickens's A Tale of Two Cities is a gripping historical novel set against the backdrop of the French Revolution. Against the tranquil streets of London, two men are drawn into the vengeful, bloodstained world of Paris, where the Reign of Terror holds sway. As their paths converge, they become entangled in a web of love, tragedy, and fate. The story unfolds against the tumultuous events of the French Revolution, as the lives of its characters become inextricably linked. The text has been carefully restored to its original form, as it appeared in its first serial publication in 1859, and includes the original illustrations by H.K. Browne ('Phiz'). This edition provides a unique insight into Dickens's vision, and is enhanced by a thoughtful introduction that explores the intricate interweaving of epic drama with personal tragedy. Published by Penguin Classics, this edition is part of a leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With authoritative texts, introductions, and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, readers can trust this series to provide a rich and nuanced understanding of the works they love.
