Dickens's historical novel of the French Revolution, in a gorgeous new clothbound edition
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.

评分这本书中描写了很多种不同的爱,有正直的曼內特医生为了正义与恶势力做斗争,甚至牺牲了自己美好的生活和家庭时所表现出来的那种无私的爱;再如作为慈爱的父亲,曼內特医生为了女儿的幸福,原谅了自己仇人的儿子并接纳他为亲人时所流露出来的宽容的爱;在如年轻的律师为了自己...
