Publisher Description

Una novela historica de la revolucion. Carlos Dickens, el gran escritor ingles incursiono muy poco en la novela historica, que tan de boga estuvo a mediados del siglo XIX. De hecho, dentro de su inmensa produccion, tanto en numero como en calidad, solo hay dos novelas historicas de las cuales La historia de dos ciudades es una. Las dos ciudades del nombre son Londres y el Paris de la epoca de la revolucion francesa y los detalles estan cuidadosamente delineados para contar una historia melodramatica y conmovedora. Por estas razones, esta novela ha figurado siempre entre las favoritas de Carlos Dickens, a pesar de apartarse de su linea narrativa habitual. La obra fue publicada originalmente por capitulos en una revista inglesa y el interes que causo fue tal, que la gente esperaba por horas la aparicion de la publicacion para seguir la historia en forma fiel.

The two cities of the title are London and Paris during the French Revolution. Don't miss this fascinating, classic story.

""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 directly to Heaven, we were all going the other way.""

    " I read this book ages ago, yet the story stayed with me far, far longer than I thought it would. So much so that when I was in France and visited sites the book had mentioned, the sense of death, torture and pain was so strong I had to get out for some fresh air. A must read classic "

    " Obviously this is an excellent book. It was definitely slow reading and a 2nd-read of it wouldn't hurt! Takes place during the French Revolution and the Storming of the Bastille - it helps if you are familiar with the details of these. "
