Dickens at his best

"Dickens masterfully tells a breathtaking tale of characters in a time that was truly the worst of times. Beautiful and heartbreaking, A Tale of Two Cities gets even better the second, third, or hundredth time you read it. Every single page seems to have an effect on the story, even if such an effect is only revealed much later."

— Iris (5/5)

“No writer of the age was more beloved than Dickens.” —Tina Jordan, The New York Times

“[A Tale of Two Cities] has the best of Dickens and the worst of Dickens: a dark, driven opening, and a celestial but melodramatic ending; a terrifyingly demonic villainess and (even by Dickens’ standards) an impossibly angelic heroine. Though its version of the French Revolution is brutally simplified, its engagement with the immense moral themes of rebirth and terror, justice, and sacrifice gets right to the heart of the matter…for every reader in the past hundred and forty years and for hundreds to come, it is an unforgettable ride.” —from the Everyman's Library introduction by Simon Schama
Charles Dickens (1812-70) was a political reporter and journalist whose popularity was established by the phenomenally successful Pickwick Papers (1836-7). His novels captured and held the public imagination over a period of more than thirty years. Richard Maxwell teaches in the Comparative Literature & English departments at Yale.
