Description: A Tale of Two Cities (1859), dickens' greatest historical novel, traces the private lives of a group of people caught up in the cataclysm of the French Revolution - and also on his own observations and investigations during numerous visits to Paris.

"The best story I have written" was Dickens's own verdict on A Tale of Two Cities, and the reader is unlikely to disagree with this judgement on a story which combines historical fact with the author's unsurpassed genius for poignant tales of human suffering, self sacrifice, and redemption.
