A Tale of Two Cities
Charles Dickens
6"x9" paperback, 470 pages
Do you hear the people sing?
Singing the song of angry men?
It is the music of the people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!
- Les Miserables
This classic work is Dickens at his most readable, but it’s still a bit of a slog in its original version. So we at Dull Boy Classics decided to punch up the dialogue a bit for modern readers. A little bit of swearing for emphasis goes a long way toward making this work more accessible and exciting for modern readers who are looking for something a little more reminiscent of Tarantino and Scorsese. Same great story with a fresh coat of paint!
