A Tale of Two Cities

Paperback

In A Tale of Two Cities, Dr. Alexandre Manette, unjustly imprisoned for 18 years, is reunited with his daughter Lucie in England. Their lives take a turn when they are called to testify against Charles Darnay, a Frenchman falsely accused of treason, who bears a striking resemblance to Sydney Carton, a dissolute lawyer's clerk. Set against the backdrop of the French Revolution, Dickens' novel explores themes of justice, vengeance, and sacrifice, with a dramatic climax at the guillotine.
