�It was the best of times, it was the worst of times..� The story of Lucie Manette�the daughter of an English doctor, the mystifying Charles Darnay�the nephew of a marquis and the unfathomable Sydney Carton�Darnay�s lawyer, a Tale of Two cities works its way through London and Paris and brings before the reader the most remarkable saga of love, chaos, duality and uprising, all in the backdrop of the French Revolution. First published in thirty-one weekly installments in 1859, this is Dickens� best known work of historical fiction.

Charles Dickens

Charles Dickens was born in 1812 near Portsmouth where his father was a clerk in the navy pay office. The family moved to London in 1823, but their fortunes were severely impaired. Dickens was sent to work in a blacking-warehouse when his father was imprisoned for debt. Both experiences deeply affected the future novelist. In 1833 he began contributing stories to newspapers and magazines, and in 1836 started the serial publication of Pickwick Papers. Thereafter, Dickens published his major novels over the course of the next twenty years, from Nicholas Nickleby to Little Dorrit. He also edited the journals Household Words and All the Year Round. Dickens died in June 1870.
