A Tale of Two Cities

Retold with activities at a level B1

From the quiet roads of London to the vengeful, bloodstained streets of Paris at the time of the French Revolution, A Tale of Two Cities is an epic story that mingles the personal and the political. It is the story of the ageing Doctor Manette, finally released and reunited with his daughter in England and a tale of three lovers, with a plot-twist of self-sacrifice. This version is intended for learners at a B1 level of the CEFR. It comes with an introduction, notes and, a wide range of activities, specially designed to further the reader’s understanding of the story and its literary appreciation and to encourage extensive reading.
