Introduction to “A Tale of Two Cities”

April 10, 2021

My free audiobook narration of the complete novel, “A Tale of Two Cities” is now available at Librivox. org. You can download the entire book at https://librivox.org/a-tale-of-two-cities-by-charles-dickens-5/ In this brief introduction I provide an overview of the plot of the novel, what Dickens was trying to accomplish by writing it, and how it both represents and misrepresents the French Revolution–but in both cases doing so magnificently.   I hope you enjoy it. If you do, please subscribe to this podcast, and comment on this introduction below. Happy listening!
