Tale of Two Cities Summary
| After eighteen years as a political prisoner in the Bastille the aging Dr Manette is finally released and reunited with his daughter in England. There two very different men, Charles Darnay, an exiled French aristocrat, and Sydney Carton, a disreputable but brilliant English lawyer, become enmeshed through their love for Lucie Manette. From the tranquil lanes of London, they are all drawn against their will to the vengeful, bloodstained streets of Paris at the height of the Reign of Terror and soon fall under the lethal shadow of La Guillotine. |

| "ôIt is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever knownö After finishing A Tale of Two Cities, Dickens said ôit has greatly moved and excited me in the doing.ö One of his most haunting novels, it has, since its first serial publication in 1859, continued to exert a grip on the popular imagination. Set during the French revolution in a lethal, vengeful Paris and a leafy, tranquil London, the two cities of the title are only a part of the novelÆs stark dichotomies, which are continued as Sydney Carton and Charles Darnayùtheir lives touched by the same womanùare drawn against their will to the vengeful, bloodstained streets of Paris only to fall under the lethal shadow of La Guillotine.
