A Tale of Two Cities

London and Paris form the setting for lives drawn together before and during the French Revolution: a Manette family reunited after eighteen years of imprisonment, an exiled aristocrat, a dissolute English lawyer and the gathering storm.

This edition, in English, preserves Dickens’s language and adds short notes on references and historical context, an editor’s introduction, a character guide and a chronology, with the complete novel checked against an independent 1859 printing.
