A Tale of Two Cities (Standard English Classics)

Charles Dickens' masterwork transports readers to the turbulent era of the French Revolution, weaving together the destinies of unforgettable characters across London and Paris. At the heart of this narrative lies the profound journey of Sydney Carton, a cynical barrister whose transformation culminates in an extraordinary act of devotion. Through the interconnected lives of Lucie Manette, her father—a victim of Bastille imprisonment—and the aristocratic Charles Darnay, Dickens explores the enduring power of love, personal redemption, and the willingness to sacrifice for those we cherish. This Standard English Classics edition captures the novel's penetrating examination of social upheaval and human resilience during one of history's most pivotal moments.
