Features: Comes with a movie VCD. This book is one of the important works of Charles Dickens' later creative period. It is a historical novel based on part of the history of the French Revolution (such as the storming of the Bastille and the massacres between 1792 and 1793). It is also his most concise masterpiece, yet it is a thrilling and heart-stirring novel with a complex and perilous plot. The author comprehensively reveals the face of British society in terms of breadth and depth in the book: the darkness of parliamentary politics, the insensibility of the ruling institutions, the evils of a money-driven society, and the poverty of the common people.
