Description
Considered to be Dickens’ greatest historical novel, A Tale of Two Cities traces the private lives of a group of people caught up in the cataclysm of the French Revolution and the Terror. “The best story I have written” was Dickens’ own verdict on A Tale of Two Cities, and the reader is unlikely to disagree with this judgement of a story which combines historical fact with the author’s unsurpassed genius for poignant tales of human suffering, self-sacrifice, and redemption.
