One of the best-selling novels of all time, A Tale of Two Cities is arguably Charles Dickens' best historical fiction stories. It explores the intricacies of a pre-revolution France and the simmering anger that led to the end of a monarchy.

Follow Doctor Manette, newly released from an eighteen-year imprisonment in the infamous Bastille, as he moves away from the tyrannical French monarchy.

"Liberty, Equality, Fraternity, or Death!"

This story is one of conflicts, brutality, and of a history-altering revolution. Charles Dickens' best-selling novel is a roller coaster that will carry readers through some of the most tumultuous events in history. Stand in the shoes of the people who lived it and leave with a completely new perspective on what it means to be human.

About Charles Dickens

Charles Dickens was born on February 7, 1812, in Landport, Portsea, England. He died in Kent on June 9, 1870. The second of eight children of a family continually plagued by debt, the young Dickens came to know not only hunger and privation, but also the horror of the infamous debtors' prison and the evils of child labor. A turn of fortune in the shape of a legacy brought release from the nightmare of prison and "slave" factories and afforded Dickens the opportunity of two years' formal schooling at Wellington House Academy. He worked as an attorney's clerk and newspaper reporter until his Sketches by Boz (1836) and The Pickwick Papers (1837) brought him the amazing and instant success that was to be his for the remainder of his life. In later years, the pressure of serial writing, editorial duties, lectures, and social commitments led to his separation from Catherine Hogarth after twenty-three years of marriage. It also hastened his death at the age of fifty-eight, when he was characteristically engaged in a multitude of work.
