A Tale Of Two Cities by Charles Dickens and Grace Todhunter

A Tale of Two Cities is Charles Dickens’s great historical novel, set against the violent upheaval of the French Revolution. The most famous and perhaps the most popular of his works, it compresses an event of immense complexity to the scale of a family history, with a cast of characters that includes a bloodthirsty ogress and an antihero as believably flawed as any in modern fiction. Though the least typical of the author’s novels, A Tale of Two Cities still underscores many of his enduring themes—imprisonment, injustice, social anarchy, resurrection, and the renunciation that fosters renewal. This 1955 J.M. Dent Hardback is in fair condition. No DJ. 1955 reprint, first published in 1920. No dust jacket; red cloth cover with noticable wear and fading. Pages beginning to tan. Markings from previous owner on inside front cover.
