Publisher's Synopsis
A Tale of Two Cities is one of the novels of the British writer Charles Dickens, published in 1859. This novel is particularly different from the others he wrote, which are mostly based on stories starring children or adolescents and show an intention of reprimand or denunciation of the British society of the time. This historical novel narrates life in the 18th century, at the time of the French Revolution, at the same time the story takes place in two countries: England and France, and in the cities of London and Paris, respectively at the time of the dawn of the French Revolution. The first city would somehow symbolize peace and tranquility, a simple and orderly life; while the second would represent turmoil, challenge and chaos, the conflict between two worlds at a time when drastic social changes are announced.
