Dickens' great historical novel of the French Revolution.

Set between 1757 and 1793, A Tale of Two Cities views the causes and effects of the Revolution from an essentially private point of view, showing how private experience relates to public history. Dickens' characters are fictional, and their political activity is minimal, yet all are drawn towards the Paris of the Terror, and all become caught up in its web of human suffering and human sacrifice. Dickens described this book as "the best story I have written".

Fully illustrated with the original black and white illustrations by Phiz.

Enjoy!
