Charles Dickens

A Tale Of Two Cities

CD-ROM (Books on Tape, Inc. April 28, 2000)
"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times." So begins one of the nineteenth century's enduring masterpieces, set amid the terror of revolutionary Paris and the relative safety of Georgian London. Travelling to England under the assumed name of Charles Darnay, a French aristocrat abandons his country. He is disgusted by the greed of the ancient regime, which feeds itself while the masses starve. Years later, the promise of a democratic revolution gives him reason to hope, and he returns to France to find that the new order is as contemptible as the old. Now Darnay must rescue his wife and father-in-law from blood-thirsty mobs and the guillotine. But will his unpredictable look-alike, Sydney Carton, destroy his chances? Or does Carton have something else in mind?
