Descrizione dell’editore
The novel depicts the plight of the French peasantry demoralised by the French aristocracy in the years leading up to the revolution, the corresponding brutality demonstrated by the revolutionaries toward the former aristocrats in the early years of the revolution, and many unflattering social parallels with life in London during the same time period. It follows the lives of several characters through these events.

A Tale of two Cities
A wonderful piece of literature that provides the reader with an enlightening view of a key period in human history leading to the end of 'Divine Right Absolute Monarchies' and the beginning of modern 'Democracies' in occidental societies, by way of violent and bloody revolution in France and through a more quiet and progressive evolution in the United Kingdom.
