Two cities, London and Paris, hold a story that turns on sacrifice as revolution closes in.
A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens sets private lives against the French Revolution and asks what ordinary people owe each other when institutions collapse. Dickens is precise about the human cost on both sides, and the novel's pull comes from the tension between vengeance and forgiveness rather than from historical detail alone. This Penguin Select Classics edition is hardbound, which makes it as suitable for a collection as for a first reading.
What the edition delivers:
• The complete novel in a premium hardbound Penguin Select Classics format
• Historical fiction set across revolutionary France and England
• Themes of sacrifice, justice and redemption for study or discussion
• A binding intended for display and long term keeping
