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.
