"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way".

Those are the opening lines of A Tale of Two Cities written by Charles Dickens some 160 years ago. The work of fiction is set in Paris and London in the period before the French Revolution of 1789.
