Product Details
- Charles Dickens's classic historical novel of the French Revolution A Tale of Two Cities portrays a world on fire, split between Paris and London during the brutal and bloody events of the French Revolution. After eighteen years as a political prisoner in the Bastille the aging Dr Manette is finally released and reunited with his daughter in England. There, two very different men, Charles Darnay, an exiled French aristocrat, and Sydney Carton, a disreputable but brilliant English lawyer, become enmeshed through their love for Lucie Manette. From the tranquil lanes of London, they are all drawn against their will to the vengeful, bloodstained streets of Paris at the height of the Reign of Terror and soon fall under the lethal shadow of La Guillotine. This edition uses the text as it appeared in its first serial publication in 1859 to convey the full scope of Dickens's vision, and includes the original illustrations by H.K. Browne ('Phiz'). Richard Maxwell's introduction discusses the intricate interweaving of epic drama with personal tragedy.

Charles Dickens Classic Novels Editorial Review
A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens is a historical novel set in the French Revolution era. The novel highlights the horrific abuse suffered by the peasants in France and how the tyranny of the masses is just as bad as the aristocracy's cruelty. Dr. Manette, a French physician imprisoned wrongly in the Bastille, is freed and goes to London where he stays with his daughter and her family. There is dread hanging over Darnay's family, leading them to become intertwined with the Manettes. The novel is a story of repression, love, and sacrifice. While the book is not one of Dickens' more comedic stories, parts are amusing. The ending lines, "It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to, than I have ever known," are known to many. Critics acclaim the book for its storytelling and character development. The characters are the novel's highlights, ranging from the noble Dr. Manette to the villainous Madame Defarge.
