About the book

A Tale of Two Cities is a novel by Charles Dickens. It came out in weekly instalments in his own magazine, All the Year Round, from April to November 1859, and as a book the same year. Dickens drew on Thomas Carlyle’s history The French Revolution, a debt he acknowledged when the book first appeared.
