Dickens’ classic novel with explanatory notes and 40 illustrations by Fred Barnard and Hablot Knight Browne.

A Tale of Two Cities is one of the most thrilling narratives in the whole range of the literature of fiction. Considered apart from all the other works of Dickens, it would entitle him to a very high rank among romancers. The total effect of the novel, both in construction and content, is remarkably strong. A careful re-reading will convince one that no event is superfluous, that every scene pictured, every character introduced, every mysterious, whispered conference, leads straight to the final catastrophe. It is in fact a notable proof of Dickens’s skill in writing a novel of incident, — the way in which he draws so many events of the Revolution into the main current of his story, leaving no circumstance to eddy by itself. These merits and the many vivid and, in the main, true pictures of the Revolution give one good reason for calling The Tale of Two Cities a great novel. From it, a host of readers will continue to receive their first and most lasting impression of a great historical event, and at the same time will be exalted in mood by the heroic self-sacrifice of Sidney Carton.SEE ALSO: British Classics.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Charles Dickens was born in 1812 near Portsmouth where his father was a clerk in the navy pay office. The family moved to London in 1823, but their fortunes were severely impaired. Dickens was sent to work in a blacking-warehouse when his father was imprisoned for debt. Both experiences deeply affected the future novelist. In 1833 he began contributing stories to newspapers and magazines, and in 1836 started the serial publication of Pickwick Papers. Thereafter, Dickens published his major novels over the course of the next twenty years, from Nicholas Nickleby to Little Dorrit. He also edited the journals Household Words and All the Year Round. Dickens died in June 1870.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Truly Calssic Read,...
Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2021

So many books are being taken out of print by a delusional ideology that believes books are inherently biased, racist or just evil. It's bad enough our children are being robbed of a decent education, let alone taking away a certain level of cultural growth by sitting down with a classic read. I'm buying books just like this one and many others in hopes of preserving a little piece of literary history and passing them down to my children with the hope they pass them on to their own.
Semper Fi!

I'm not reviewing the novel itself, just this printing. It's a beautiful edition with nice illustrations and a perfect size font; not too small or too big. It is a quality printing anyone would be proud do add to ones library.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very attractive edition of a worthy classic
Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2019
Verified Purchase
This is a handsome edition. I owned the Great Illustrated Classics edition when I was in high school, but this one is much nicer. The paper and layout are attractive, and the number of original illustrations is greater than the number in the volume I had when I was younger. Thumbing through the book, I found myself rereading the last five chapters. This book moves at a quick pace, and Dickens chooses his words effectively. I found the ending every bit as powerful as when I first read it. I'm glad I made this purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Novel For The Ages
Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2019
Verified Purchase
Dickens is always wonderful; one of greatest writers of all time. This is one of his most accessible novels--a timeless love story set against the background of the French Revolution with all its excesses. A book for the ages with typically memorable Dickensian characters. Read it and rejoice; read it and weep.

I've read the book elsewhere and bought this for my daughter because she loves beautiful copies of her favorite books. And it is lovely and has pictures. However, it's thin. This should be a looooong book. Is it abridged? Am confused.

I love this book and this hardcover version is wonderful. I can barely make it through a paperback without it looking pretty tattered by the end. This hardcover is durable and attractive and necessary for a classic book you want to read again

A beloved book... I have read this book many times.... and each time it is better. More beautifully written, richer, more profound. Dickens has a certain tendency to digressive rants on occasion... he does not do that here... the beautiful powerful smooth flow of the tale pulls him and us along together

 A beautiful book with eye-pleasing font, illustrations and foot-notes. This is Dicken's best book. Rated much high that Great Expectations, Oliver Twist and David Copperfield with repeat reading quality.

4.0 out of 5 stars Dickensian Edition!
Reviewed in India on May 6, 2022
Verified Purchase
This edition has the original illustrations. The two column layout along with the black and white detailed border and illustrations looks quite Dickensian. The book is sturdy. It’s a board book. The details on the cover are not embossed. So, invest in this book only if you want a sturdy and illustrated copy of the book. This costed me less than 1200, which is kinda reasonable.
