A Tale of Two Cities (Mermaids Classics)
About This Book
A Tale of Two Cities (1859) by Charles Dickens (1812-1870) is a novel set during the French Revolution. "With well over 200 million copies sold, it ranks among the most famous works in the history of fictional literature. The novel depicts the plight of the French peasantry demoralized by the French aristocracy in the years leading up to the revolution, the corresponding brutality demonstrated by the revolutionaries toward the former aristocrats in the early years of the revolution, and many unflattering social parallels with life in London during the same time period."
