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.
Charles Dickens (1812-70) was a political reporter and journalist whose popularity was established by the phenomenally successful Pickwick Papers (1836-7). His novels captured and held the public imagination over a period of more than thirty years. Richard Maxwell teaches in the Comparative Literature & English departments at Yale.

评分在那个最令人恐惧、堕落、压抑的动荡年代,在两座充满断头台、死囚犯、流血、告密的城市中,人性并没有因此而泯灭。仍有为了爱而宽容一切的人,因为爱而无私奉献的人,更有用生命来诠释爱情的人。 〈双城记〉围绕法国大革命前后莫奈特医生一家、德法热太太、艾弗雷蒙德三个家庭...
