A tale of two cities

The Tale of Two Cities is a story of incidents and events rather than of a character. The story is critical both of mob violence and aristocratic abuses which prompted the French revolution. The novel traces the private lives of a group of people caught up in the cataclysm of the French Revolution.

Charles Dickens based his historical details in such a story on his own observations during his visits to Paris. The reader cannot miss reading such a story, which combines historical facts with the author's unsurpassed genius for tales of human suffering, self-sacrifice and redemption.
