Explore Dickens’ classic tale of order and disorder, death and resurrection with A Tale of Two Cities.
Taking place in London and Paris in the eighteenth century, in the
years leading up to and during the French Revolution, Charles Dickens’ A
Tale of Two Cities is one of injustice, revenge, rebirth, love, and
sacrifice.
Originally published in thirty-one weekly installments in 1859, this
novel is uncharacteristic for Dickens as it lacks comic relief, as well
as a protagonist, though London and Paris are considered to be the true
protagonists of the story. The turbulence found in this epic tale is
also believed to reflect the turmoil in Dickens’ personal life at the
time.
Complete and unabridged, A Tale of Two Cities is an essential
collectible that features an introduction by English literature scholar
Brian Bartell and a timeline of the life and times of Charles Dickens.
