A Tale of Two Cities Dickens

"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." One of the most famous and highly respected novels ever written. In France, unrest is growing, the peasants railing against mistreatment by the aristocracy. In London, the parallels between conditions in France and London become clear. When Revolution strikes in Paris, the repercussions spread across France and England, drawing rich and poor alike into terrible tragedy and the greatest courage.
