Written by Charles Dickens, this classic book charts the course of multiple characters from both London and Paris around the time of the French revolution. Dickens explores the actions and motivations of those involved in the Revolution and questions the ability of such a powerful means of change to remain innocent itself.

A Tale of two cities features on almost all top 100 classic books to read lists and deserves its place there. The intricate way that Dickens pulls all of the characters makes the making of an awesome book review difficult to do in less than half an hour.

Combined with keeping spoilers out of the video makes this more of a Tale of two cities book summary, than a full blown review. However, I address some overarching ideas which will strongly assist your enjoyment and immersion in this classic books must read. A tale of two cities, if you have yet to read it, is definitely one of the books you should read in 2021.

WEDNESDAY 27/2023 and I have just seen your video on a "Tale of Two Cities, " by Charles Dickens. I have read some of Dickens' work but not a "Tale of Two Cities." I will have to read it. Please do an indepth review of this book. Thank you.

I read this book some years ago because I found it free on my new kindle at the time. This was a time that i didn't normally read classics but I enjoyed it. I remember thinking that it was such a great book to read for free! I don’t remember much but your review has given me an enthusiasm to read it again. I would love it if you did an in depth review.
Thanks

Tristan, as someone who has much interest in Classic Literature I am very appreciative of your channel. It is very difficult to find videos where people are willing to discuss more than just the key essential elements that make up a book. Your approach is very different in the sense that your discussion takes us deeper into the world of this story by mentioning Dickens use of various characters to portray the French Revolution. I was also very intrigued at how you discuss Dickens fear of dogmatic mentality in society and how it is inevitable to find that same nature scattered within our world today. I really enjoyed this video, I read A Tale of Two Cities last year and so far it is my favorite novel overall and of the Dickens work that I have read so far. I would be very interested in watching a second more in depth video about this book, I certainly will check out more videos from this channel as well.

I think the most two important characters are Sydney Carton and Madame Defarge.
Thank you for the nice review!

Love your channel. I have just finished A Tale of Two Cities, It's marvelous. I had no idea that Dickens was so snarky.

This book is still relevant given today’s political climate. The recent Capital riot reminds me of the storming of the Bastille.

I finished Great Expectations yesterday and I watched this video. I really appreciate the depth that you bring out of a novel. I hope to learn that skill as I continue to read the classics. Thank you.

[edenzamora]

In depth please, love all your in depth analyses. Thank you!

[sandralucas-patricot]

Thank you for the review. I enjoyed listening to your explanations and I would love to see another video about this book.😊

[cwst_english]

Great review ❤
😅I agree with you…not his best book (but one of his very best）

[normbabbitt]

I love your review! Brought back more detailed memories. I must read this book again. No other book of Dickens ever stuck with me as did his, A Tale of Two Cities. This is novel that lives inside of me. I consider it a transcendent work of literature where good and evil are brought into such vivid comparison and clarity. Utopianism strongly tends toward totalitarianism, for human beings are imperfect and force, coercion and murder are always needed to make the "perfect society, " which absolutely cannot exist in this imperfect world. Communism, Nazism, Stalinism, Maoism, Jacobism, etcetera always result in totalitarian tyrannies of killing and control since they all need to scapegoat, foster divisions between groups (rich vs poor, etc), and silence those who do not agree to there "holier than thou" ideologies. Anyway, I've read the novel three times in my life. Yes, about time for another read. My wife already started her first read of this masterpiece.

Would love in-depth analysis of any classic book for I love listening to you discussing the classics. Just be sure to bite in the video’s title that a spoiler alert. Thank you so much for your videos. I am thoroughly enjoying them. I hope you do more videos in your “100 Books You MUST Read” series.

[MsLynnie]

I would like you to go deeper into Tale of Two Cities.

Yes, “Like Saturn, the Revolution devours its children.” ~Jacques Mallet du Pan. I say yes, do a more in-depth video on this book, thankyou.

Hey Tristan, I have been a subscriber for a few months now, but this is my first time commenting. I read “A Tale of Two Cities” in 2020. I am a bit embarrassed by the fact that (as a student at liberal arts college) I struggled for months to finish this one while I know there are middle schoolers who read it much quicker. :) If you ever decide to record an in depth review, I would definitely watch it, I know there is more to this story than I uncovered on my own! Here are two quotes that I jotted down while reading, “Nothing within range, nearer or lower than the summits of the two great towers of Notre-Dame, had any promise on it of healthy life or wholesome aspirations.” And, “Think now and then that there is a man who would give his life, to keep a life you love beside you!” -Sydney Carton

I'd love to hear your in depth review with spoilers. thanks for sharing.

[richardpaz]

Terrific review! Thank u so much! It is most definitely a great work of literature.

A Tale of Two Cities is Perhaps his greatest, but how can you choose from the many brilliant stories.
Like everything Dickens wrote it is a complex story, with characters that live in your imagination forever.
It is Dickens detailed description of his characters that bring them to life.
You will never be able to forget any of them.
In my family we recall Dickens characters who may fit into something that is going on at the time.
Madame DeFarge is a favorite of ours and we have renamed many women as that infamous woman.
Scrooge is of course another immortal character who we often use to describe someone we know.
