Features: Charles Dickens (1812-1870), a literary giant of 19th-century Britain. A Tale of Two Cities is considered the pinnacle of his later works. During the French Revolution, Dr. Manette accidentally witnessed the brutal atrocities committed by the Evremonde brothers, a feudal aristocratic family, for the sake of justice, only to be thrown into the Bastille and imprisoned for eighteen years. After his release, Manette's daughter Lucie fell in love with the son of his enemies, Darnay. Thus, amidst the whirlwind of the French Revolution, a series of family feuds and romantic entanglements unfold. Good, evil, life, and death intertwine in the conflicts, changing in an instant. A Tale of Two Cities is structurally rigorous and linguistically concise, where Dickens' profound reflections on revolution and human nature, as well as his breathtaking writing talent, are fully displayed.
