About this ebook

Illustrated edition — includes newly curated illustrations, a concise book summary, a brief author biography, and a handy characters list.

Charles Dickens’s A Tale of Two Cities is a sweeping historical drama set against the fury of the French Revolution—contrasting the glitter of London society with the tumult of Parisian streets. Through the intertwined fates of Charles Darnay, a French aristocrat who renounces his title, and Sydney Carton, a disillusioned English barrister, Dickens explores sacrifice, justice, and the redemptive power of love. At the heart of the novel stands Lucie Manette, whose quiet compassion anchors a story that moves from wrongful imprisonment to courtroom tension and the shadow of the guillotine, culminating in one of literature’s most unforgettable acts of selflessness.This reader-friendly edition presents the complete, unabridged text enhanced with evocative illustrations that bring carriages, courts, and barricades vividly to life. A clear book summary distills the central plot and themes; a concise biography of Charles Dickens adds historical context; and a characters list keeps the Manettes, Darnays, Defarges, and their circle at your fingertips.
Ideal for students, book clubs, and anyone drawn to classic historical fiction, this beautifully illustrated volume balances literary authenticity with modern readability—showcasing Dickens’s dramatic pacing, moral urgency, and timeless prose.
