A Tale of Two Cities

When millions suffer under iron-fisted oppression, when anger and resentment boil into bloody insurrection, when triumph leads to savage vengeance--when does one individual life matter. In A Tale of Two Cities, Charles Dickens interweaves the intensely personal dramas of Lucie Manette, Charles Darnay, and Sydney Carton against the backdrop of the French Revolution and its terror and chaos. The result is a powerful story of love, sacrifice, and redemption amid horrific violence and world-changing events.A Tale of Two Cities is one of Barnes & Noble's Collectible Editions classics.
