Inhaltsangabe

The 'two cities' are London, steadied by the old-fashioned habits of business and Paris in the time of the French revolution with its howling mobs and bloody executions. The novel explores the gulf between revolutionary ideals and methods, and, through the characters of Charles Darnay, Sydney Carton and Lucie Manette dramatises the choice between changing society and changing oneself. This stirring tale of resurrection, renunciation and revolution is one of Dickens's best and most popular novels.
