Charles Dickens, Simon Prebble
A Tale of Two Cities
When the starving French masses rise to overthrow a corrupt and decadent government, both the guilty and the innocent become victims of their frenzied anger. Soon nothing stands in the way of the chilling figure they enlist for their causeâLa Guillotine, the new invention for efficiently chopping off heads. This captivating tale uses the contrasts between the two cities âbeliefsâ to reveal the central choice confronting every society and each individual: Should a person work to change society, or should the revolution occur within his heart? One of Charles Dickens most exciting novels, A Tale of Two Cities is a compelling portrait of the results of terror and treason, love and supreme sacrifice.
