A Tale of Two Cities

Dickens's stirring tale of love, hope and nobility during the French Revolution. The epic story of two cities and two men. Charles Darnay and Sydney Carton are alike in appearance, very different in character, but in love with the same woman. Darnay, who has abandoned the cruelty of the French nobility for London, has to return to Paris during the violent Revolution to rescue his faithful servant from the guillotine. But what part does Carton play in the dramatic events that follow? This edition has been specially abridged for Puffin Classics.
