The French Revolution comes to vivid life in Charles Dickens's famous novel
about the best of times and the worst of times... The storming of the
Bastille…the death carts with their doomed human cargo…the swift drop of the
guillotine blade—this is the French Revolution that Charles Dickens vividly
captures in his famous work A Tale of Two Cities. With dramatic eloquence, he
brings to life a time of terror and treason, a starving people rising in
frenzy and hate to overthrow a corrupt and decadent regime. With insight and
compassion, Dickens casts his novel of unforgettable scenes with some
memorable characters: the sinister Madame Defarge, knitting her patterns of
death; the gentle Lucie Manette, unswerving in her devotion to her broken
father; Charles Darnay, the lover with a secret past; and dissolute Sydney
Carton, whose unlikely heroism gives his life meaning.
