A Tale of Two Cities (Cover to Cover) [Audiobook, CD, Unabridged] [Audio CD]

Charles Dickens (Author), Richard Pasco (Narrator)

Book Description

Series: Cover to Cover | Publication Date: April 6, 2006

Through his novel's two unforgettable main characters, Sydney Carton and Madame Defarge, Charles Dickens expertly evokes and contrasts life in England during the reign of George III and life in France during the revolution and the horror that came to dominate it. Personifying these conflicting cultures and historical imperatives, Dickens's two protagonists dramatically fall in love, indicating that perhaps 19th-century England and France had more in common than not. A novel that is both satisfying as a work of literature and as a statement on a crucial period of history, A Tale of Two Cities remains one of Dickens's most popular, inspiring works.

This review is from: A Tale of Two Cities (Cover to Cover) (Audio CD)

It is a dark story, however it is Dickens and he is such a great writer. I would like to say that I love this "Cover to Cover Classics" reading on CD, it is very hard to find and classic lit. on CD that is unabridged and in a good price range. It is unabridged and the 14 disks are marked as you go through them. By this I mean the reader states disk one or two ect. Each disk is about one and half hours long. The cost was not high when using Amazon discounts. Listen to this beautiful love story and enjoy it. "A TALE OF TWO CITIES" is a very great read.
