Description
"I wish you to know that you have been the last dream of my soul.” The storming of the Bastille, the drop of the guillotine blade―this is the French Revolution that Charles Dickens vividly captures in the novel A Tale of Two Cities. It was the era of suppressed people rising for their rights, overthrowing centuries of corrupt regime; for them the wounds and blood was sweet as it was tinged with the air of liberation. With compassion and empathy, Dickens writes some unforgettable scenes and memorable characters: the sinister Madame Defarge, knitting her patterns of death; the gentle Lucie Manette, unswerving in her devotion to her broken father; Charles Darnay, the lover with a secret past, and Sydney Carton, whose unlikely heroism gives his life meaning. In Dicken’s enigmatic world of treachery and heroism, explore the bravest and weakest corners of human nature, and the redemptive power of love and sacrifice.

Best for collections
I received the book in wonderful condition the cover art is gorgeous and the pages are of decent quality kinda like the ones you get from fingerprint classics rather than a penguin classic (the black ones) same goes for the font which is a tad bit smaller than a proper penguin classic but that's okay because the weight of the book significantly changes because of those two things and this book is light and cute to carry plus the pastel colours look great on a book shelf which is a welcome change from penguin classics' usual black spines. Overall I'm very satisfied with this and I'll probably buy more. so thanks Amazon and penguin ps Amazon please start sending bookmarks again.
