This edition of A Tale of Two Cities includes a Foreword, Biographical Note, and Afterword by R.L. Fisher.

They fled to London, seeking safety, and found each other--Dr. Manette, falsely imprisoned for decades; his daughter, Lucie, whose stunning beauty was matched by her loyalty and grace; and Charles Darnay, who abandoned a royal title he hated to risk being called a traitor in France, a spy in England. Together, their love touched the hearts of even stodgy banker Mr. Lorry and cynical, jaded lawyer Sydney Carton...

But in Paris, the fires of revolution exploded in uncontrollable fury. The noble goals of freedom fighters became the crazed bloodbath called the Reign of Terror. And when three exiles returned home on an errand of mercy, they were trapped in a nightmare of mock trials and made rage. Once in Paris, nothing could save Darnay, Lucie, or Manette...

Except a miracle.

  • I had to read it for Lit class
    It was hard to dig into
    But in the end I loved Sydney Carton!

  • Although one of his shortest, this certainly cannot be said to be Dickens at his best. I think brevity and Sidney Carton's final speech are the only thing going for this entry into the Dickens canon. Try David Copperfield as a jumping off point for enjoying Dickens.
