Kurzbeschreibung
Penguin Classics give you the best possible editions of Charles Dickens's novels, including all the original illustrations, useful and informative introductions, the definitive, accurate text as it was meant to be published, a chronology of Dickens's life and notes that fill in the background to the book. After eighteen years as a political prisoner in the Bastille the aging Dr Manette is finally released and reunited with his daughter in England. There two very different men, Charles Darnay, an exiled French aristocrat, and Sydney Carton, a disreputable but brilliant English lawyer, become enmeshed through their love for Lucie Manette. From the tranquil lanes of London, they are all drawn against their will to the vengeful, bloodstained streets of Paris at the height of the Reign of Terror and soon fall under the lethal shadow of La Guillotine.

Einleitungssatz
It was the best of times,' it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way - in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.

A Tale of Two Cities was the first book from Charles Dickens I came to read and I was soon very fascinated and could not stop reading it. It is very densely written and although the language is in the beginning a bit hard to understand (at least I had to get accustomed to it..) the plot makes it all up. The story deals with love, revolution and sacrifice, in short it's a very thrilling mixture. As well London as Paris are the locations where the story takes place and I found it very interesting how Dickens combined the revolution theme with a personal fate and story. My favourite character is Sidney Carton. This man is a disappointed but as well underestimated alcoholic who is in fact the one who saves all in sacrificing himself. He goes to the guillotine to save Charles Darnay, the husband of his beloved Lucie. Dickens managed to write a very critical book that doesn't lack at all excitement and emotion. To sum it up: I enjoyed reading "A Tale of Two Cities" and although it may not be one of Dicken's main works I found it excellent and recommand it warmly!

I read this book years ago and think of it as on one of the better stories of Charles Dickens. Especially now with the Bastille Day celebration just over (July 14) in France. When I talk books with other people I mention it as one of the better classics. It's sad, and funny too at times. This is the sort of book I want in a bound sewn together book instead of glued together. If you are in school and have to read a classic I say get this one. If you're sick of the junk that's out there, tired of your computer screen, tired of your endless choices on satellite tv, and want to sink into an oldie, get this one. Once you get into the lingo of the language you just zoom away. A little period music in the background couldn't hurt. "Let Them Eat Cake" was never more distinct although I don't recollect a direct quote from Marie on the matter.

Format:Taschenbuch
This is the best Dickens book ever. It is a masterly plot, he squeezes so much plot and characterization into this fairly short book that it is amazing. Some of his other books are a lot thicker, but this one does just as much, if not more, in much less space.
Sure, there are a LOT of details and subplots, and some of them don't have any real relevance to the story (Dickens was paid by the word after all), but if the reader must occasionally strive through subplot after subplot and have to pick out the little bits here and there that pertain to the actualy storyline, then so be it. It's worth it in the end.
Speaking of the end, this book has what is possibly the best ending ever. It is at once beautiful, poignant, and poetic. Indeed, the ending is so famous that you will almost certainly know how this book ends before you even start reading it, but the greatness of it will still hit home.
