Tale of Two Cities

With his sublime parting words, "It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done...," Sidney Carton joins that exalted group of Dickensian characters who have earned a permanent place in the popular literary imagination. His dramatic story, set against the volcanic fury of the French Revolution and pervaded by the ominous rumble of the death carts trundling toward the guillotine, is the heart-stirring tale of a heroic soul in an age gone mad. A masterful pageant of idealism, love, and adventure-in a Paris bursting with revolutionary frenzy and a London alive with anxious anticipation-A Tale of Two Cities is one of Dickens's most energetic and exciting works.Dickens, Charles is the author of 'Tale of Two Cities', published 1989 under ISBN 9780553211764 and ISBN 0553211765.
