A Tale Of Two Cities

By Charles Dickens

Published by Dean & Son Ltd: London c1965 (undated)

"A Tale of Two Cities, by Charles Dickens, was published by Dean & Son Ltd in London around 1965. First released in 1859, this enduring historical novel remains one of Dickens's most dramatic and widely read works, set against the turbulent backdrop of the French Revolution. The story follows the intertwined fates of Charles Darnay, a French aristocrat who renounces his title, and Sydney Carton, a disillusioned English lawyer whose unrequited love for Lucie Manette leads him to an act of profound sacrifice. Through their lives—and the haunting memories of Dr. Manette, a victim of the Bastille—Dickens contrasts the cruelty of tyranny with the power of redemption and love.

Written in his richest and most cinematic style, Dickens blends personal tragedy with sweeping historical vision, capturing the chaos, idealism, and violence of revolutionary France. Themes of resurrection, justice, and moral courage run through the narrative, culminating in one of literature's most famous closing scenes of selfless heroism.

This c.1965 Dean & Son edition presents a timeless classic in an accessible mid-twentieth-century format, appealing to readers of historical fiction, students of classic literature, and collectors of illustrated or vintage Dickens editions."
