A Tale of Two Cities

If you lived in 1859 (which we are sure you didn't) and had been interested in literature or simply in need of entertainment you probably would have woken one day wondering: I need to get that new episode of Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities. Yes, they did not have television, but they invented the idea of "episodes" long before. And book "installments" (31 in our case) were a big chunk of the entertainment of those days, published, where else, in the newspapers. Later on A Tale of Two Cities turned into pretty much every possible form: countless print editions, movies (from silent to full-color), radio versions, TV series, musicals, operas even comics. It's crazy but quite a beautiful destiny for a highly influential story set against the troublesome times of the French Revolution. Haven't read it yet? Now is you chance!
