A Tale of Two Cities (1859) is a novel by Charles Dickens, set in London and Paris before and during the French Revolution.

With well over 200 million copies sold, it ranks among the most famous works in the history of fictional literature.

The novel depicts the plight of the French peasantry demoralised by the French

aristocracy in the years leading up to the revolution, the corresponding

brutality demonstrated by the revolutionaries toward the former aristocrats in

the early years of the revolution, and many unflattering social parallels with

life in London during the same time period. It follows the lives of several

protagonists through these events. The most notable are Charles Darnay and

Sydney Carton. Darnay is a former French aristocrat who falls victim to the

indiscriminate wrath of the revolution despite his virtuous nature, and Carton

is a dissipated English barrister who endeavours to redeem his ill-spent life

out of his unrequited love for Darnay's wife. The 45-chapter novel was published

in 31 weekly instalments in Dickens's new literary periodical titled All the

Year Round. From April 1859 to November 1859, Dickens also republished the

chapters as eight monthly sections in green covers. All but three of Dickens's

previous novels had appeared only as monthly instalments. The first weekly

instalment of A Tale of Two Cities ran in the first issue of All the Year Round

on 30 April 1859. The last ran thirty weeks later, on 26 November.
