A Tale of Two Cities

A Story of the French Revolution

About this book

London and Paris in the years of the Revolution, a doctor released from eighteen years in the Bastille, and two men who look alike enough for one to die in the other's place. Dickens wrote it in weekly instalments and kept the chapters short and the plot tight, unlike almost everything else he published. It is often said to have sold more copies than any other novel in English. Fifty-seven plates by painters including Rowlandson and Vernet carry the clamour of the age: coaches, cavalry, crowded inns and theatres, the public world that swallows private lives.
