Beschreibung

"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times..."

Set against the blood-stained backdrop of the French Revolution, Charles Dickens's sweeping epic brings to life two cities—London and Paris—bound together by destiny. As the shadow of the Guillotine lengthens over France, the lives of a peaceful London family become inextricably linked to the chaos of the Reign of Terror.

A Story of Rebirth and Redemption: At the heart of the novel is the physician Dr. Manette, "recalled to life" after eighteen years of unjust imprisonment in the Bastille. His daughter, Lucie, and the noble Charles Darnay seek a quiet life in England, but the sins of the past and the vengeance of the French peasantry—personified by the chilling Madame Defarge—refuse to be forgotten.

The Greatest Sacrifice in Literature: Witness the transformation of Sydney Carton, the cynical, dissipated lawyer who finds a higher purpose in his unrequited love for Lucie. His journey from self-loathing to a "far, far better thing" remains one of the most powerful character arcs ever written. A Tale of Two Cities is a profound meditation on the cycle of violence, the power of resurrection, and the endurance of the human spirit.
