Summary
Summary
“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times …”—so opens one of the best loved and most often quoted classics. With dramatic eloquence, Charles Dickens pens this thrilling tale of the inhabitants of two cities—Paris and London—as they are swept into the dangerous tide of the French Revolution.
When the starving French masses rise in hate to overthrow a corrupt and decadent government, both the guilty and innocent become victims of their frenzied anger. Soon nothing stands in the way of the chilling figure they enlist for their cause—La Guillotine—the new invention by Dr. Guillotine for efficiently chopping off heads.
Author
Author Bio: Charles Dickens
Charles Dickens (1812–1870) was born in Landport, Portsmouth, England, the second of eight children in a family continually plagued by debt. A legacy brought release from the nightmare of debtors’ prison and child labor and afforded him a few years of formal schooling. He worked as an attorney’s clerk and newspaper reporter until his early writings brought him the amazing success that was to be his for the remainder of his life. He was the most popular English novelist of the Victorian era, and he remains popular, responsible for some of English literature’s most iconic characters.
