Viva la Revolution!!!!!

With this novel Sidney Carton joins that exalted group of Dickens's characters who have earned a permanent place in the popular literary imagination. His dramatic story, set against the volcanic fury of the French Revolution and pervaded by the ominous rumble of the death carts trundling toward the guillotine, is the heart stirring tale of a heroic soul in an age gone mad. A tale of two cities is a masterful pageant of idealism, love and adventure-in a Paris bursting with revolutionary frenzy, and a London alive with anxious anticipation. A beautiful masterpiece and a must read. A historical anachronism of a momentous period in European history.
