SYNOPSIS
Set against the backdrop of the French Revolution, A Tale of Two Cities is one of Charles Dickens’s most popular and dramatic stories.
It begins on a muddy English road in an atmosphere charged with mystery and it ends in the Paris of the Revolution with one of the most famous acts of self-sacrifice in literature. In between lies one of Dickens’s most exciting books—a historical novel that, generation after generation, has given readers access to the profound human dramas that lie behind cataclysmic social and political events. Famous for its vivid characters, including the courageous French nobleman Charles Darnay, the vengeful revolutionary Madame Defarge, and cynical Englishman Sydney Carton, who redeems his ill-spent life in a climactic moment at the guillotine ("It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done"), the novel is also a powerful study of crowd psychology and the dark emotions aroused by the Revolution, illuminated by Dickens’s lively comedy.
With an Introduction by Simon Schama

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Charles Dickens
Charles Dickens (1812-1870) é reconhecido hoje como o primeiro escritor com verdadeira projeção global.
Dickens criou algumas das melhores personagens literárias de todos os tempos e foi um dos pioneiros mais importantes na defesa dos direitos das crianças em Inglaterra. O facto de ter sido obrigado a abandonar a escola para trabalhar numa fábrica quando o pai foi preso por dívidas marcou-o profundamente, levando-o a transformar essa realidade no tema principal de algumas das suas obras.
Apesar da falta de instrução formal, foi diretor do jornal literário mais importante do seu tempo durante cerca de 20 anos, escreveu várias novelas, largas centenas de contos, ensaios e artigos, bem como quinze romances. A importância da sua obra alcançou uma grandeza de tal ordem, que muitas das suas personagens são referências incontornáveis – como são os casos de Oliver Twist, Fagin, Ebenezer Scrooge ou a Menina Havisham – mesmo para aqueles que nunca leram os seus livros.
Dickens foi igualmente um orador famoso, muito empenhado nas causas do seu tempo, e um grande agitador social que reivindicou, a par dos direitos das crianças, a necessidade de criar condições minimamente dignas que a era da Revolução Industrial parecia querer destruir definitivamente.
