The book depicts the plight of the French peasantry demoralized by the French aristocracy in the years leading up to the revolution, the corresponding brutality demonstrated by the revolutionaries toward the former aristocrats in the early years of the revolution, and many unflattering social parallels with life in London during the same time period. It follows the lives of several protagonists through these events. The most notable are Charles Darnay and Sydney Carton. Darnay is a French once-aristocrat who falls victim to the indiscriminate wrath of the revolution despite his virtuous nature, and Carton is a dissipated British barrister who endeavours to redeem his ill-spent life out of his unrequited love for Darnay's wife, Lucie Manette.

This edition includes 10 illustrations. With one of the most famous opening lines in the history of literature at the helm of his classic novel A Tale of Two Cities, Charles Dickens takes readers into the heart of London and Paris during the horror of the French Revolution known as the Reign of Terror. First published in 1859 as a serial, the story is one of Dickens’ bleakest, notable for its decided lack of the comedic characters who commonly populate his stories and the hauntingly cruel treatment of the poor by the wealthy in the years leading up to revolution, in both France and England.

Through the senses, Dickens transports us deeper and deeper into another era with each turn of the page. Smell the acidity of red wine as it spills on the streets and ominously stains the faces, hands and feet of peasants who lap it up in desperation; feel the competing emotions of heartache and hope as one of Lucie's suitors stands trial; hear the cries of the raging mob and the clangs of their weapons as they storm the Bastille; see the glint of the guillotine as it falls swiftly to its victim below. The novel's sense of urgency and intimacy will draw you in and propel you through one of the most tumultuous times in history.” Oprah’s Book ClubA TALE OF TWO CITIES is one of the most profound and exciting novels of all time. It has been made into film and television adaptations, and its famous lines "It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done" have entered into the language. This is Dickens’ masterpiece presented as it was meant to be read, with all the original illustrations.
