{"product_id":"2940149652150","title":"A Tale of Two Cities: With 18 Illustrations and a Free Audio File.","description":"Charles Dickens novel A Tale of two Cities is one of the bestselling books of all time. It traces the private lives of a group of people caught up in the cataclysm of the French Revolution and the terror that comes along with it. He based his historical detail on Carlyle's The French Revolution, and his own observations and investigations during his numerous trips to Paris.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe story thrives on tension and conflict; all set against a bloody backdrop of the French Revolution... Through the senses, Dickens transports us deeper and deeper into another era with each turn of the page. Smell the acidity of red wine as it spills on the streets and ominously stains the faces, hands and feet of peasants who lap it up in desperation; feel the competing emotions of heartache and hope as one of Lucie's suitors stands trial; hear the cries of the raging mob and the clangs of their weapons as they storm the Bastille; see the glint of the guillotine as it falls swiftly to its victim below. The novel's sense of urgency and intimacy will draw you in and propel you through one of the most tumultuous times in history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA Tale of Two Cities is one of the most profound and exciting novels of all time.
