A Tale Of Two Cities (Original) (Leather Bounded)

byCharles Dickens

Charles Dickens’ A Tale of Two Cities remains a fierce, resonant classic that pairs high-stakes storytelling with big, teachable ideas, unfolding across London and Paris as lives collide with the upheaval of the French Revolution; it’s a novel about love and loyalty, yes, but also about courage, justice, and the price of redemption, carried by characters who feel unnervingly modern in their moral dilemmas and self-sacrifice. From its legendary opening line, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times,” Dickens sets a rhythm that never slackens, contrasting safety with danger, privilege with poverty, tenderness with terror, and he keeps tightening the screws until ordinary people are forced to make extraordinary choices that echo long after the last page. This 2005 leather-bound hardcover, an original print and preowned but fresh copy curated by Pathok Point, delivers that experience in a format that looks and feels worthy of the text: durable binding, elegant presentation, and the tactile satisfaction collectors crave without locking the book behind a museum-only price tag. Inside you get the elements that make this title a perennial favorite for readers and students: a clear twin-city structure that’s easy to follow and analyze, memorable figures like Sydney Carton and Lucie Manette whose arcs crystallize the novel’s central questions, and themes that map cleanly to coursework or book-club discussion, including sacrifice and “resurrection,” justice versus vengeance, the seduction and danger of crowd fervor, and the possibility of personal transformation even in brutal times. The plot moves with courtroom tension, clandestine journeys, near-escapes, and reckonings that build to one of literature’s most striking finales, but the novel’s staying power comes from its moral clarity; Dickens doesn’t sermonize so much as he sets up choices and shows what they cost, making the book ideal for readers who want a classic that still feels active, relevant, and intensely human. This copy’s appeal goes beyond the text: leather binding elevates your shelf and protects the book for future rereads; the preowned-but-fresh condition means gently handled pages and tight binding selected for real use, not just display; and the original-print credibility adds that collector’s assurance you can feel good about. It also makes a thoughtful gift because it signals permanence and care, the kind of classic people actually keep. Pathok Point’s promise is simple: making books affordable while maintaining authenticity and quality; as the largest preowned bookseller in Bangladesh we can say it plainly that no one else consistently offers this kind of treasure at this price point, and that advantage shows up in listings like this one. Inventory reality check: leather-bound originals arrive in small, unpredictable waves and the nicest copies go first, so if you’re seeing this available, that’s your cue. Whether you’re upgrading a study copy, starting a classics shelf, or gifting a novel that still sparks conversation, this edition delivers the full Dickens experience with the durability and presence it deserves; add to cart and let a cornerstone of historical fiction earn its place on your shelf for the long run.
