A Tale of Two Cities

by Charles Dickens, Frederick Busch
$8.90
A Tale of Two Cities
A Tale of Two Cities

Love and sacrifice in revolutionary Paris and London.

If you're drawn to classic literature that weaves personal stories with grand historical events, "A Tale of Two Cities" won't disappoint. Dickens paints a vivid picture of the French Revolution, masterfully blending love, suspense, and a commentary on social justice that still resonates today. It's a gripping read that offers both an escape into the past and a mirror reflecting timeless human struggles.

Description

The storming of the Bastille...the death carts with their doomed human cargo...the swift drop of the guillotine blade - this is the French Revolution that Charles Dickens vividly captures in his famous work A Tale of Two Cities. With dramatic eloquence, he brings to life a time of terror and treason, a starving people rising in frenzy and hate to overthrow a corrupt and decadent regime. With insight and scenes with unforgettable characters: the sinister Madame Defarge, knitting her patterns of death; the gentle Lucie Manette, unswerving in her devotion to her broken father; the heroic Sydney Carton, who gives his life for the love of a woman who would never be his.
