A Tale of Two Cities

One of Charles Dickens’s most unusual and vivid works. A novel in which a gripping historical-adventure plot becomes the frame for the author’s serious and profound reflections on the fate of two countries. France on the eve of the Great Revolution. A country where clusters of anger are slowly ripening. England — cozy, calm, prosperous. A country where, it would seem, nothing is happening. But one day the fates of several English and French families will intertwine. One day History itself will burst into a story of love, hatred, and revenge!..
