New Softcover . Written for serial publication in 1859, Charles DickensaEUR s A Tale of Two Cities takes place in England and France in the years leading up to the French Revolution. It is one of DickensaEUR s most powerful and widely taught novels, with one of the most famous first lines in all of literature: "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times."
