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.

评分法国小说总是给人一种意犹未尽的感觉,为卡顿感到惋惜,希望狄更斯还有什么伏笔,但故事已经讲到了末尾。 最开始听说《双城记》,说是描写法国大革命,但是读完之后发现作者并没有用大量笔墨直接叙述法国大革命的历史,却营造了大革命的气氛,用仁爱化解仇恨,用人道化解暴力...
评分他的出场很普通,除了和达内长得一模一样。他的形象和一个律师相距甚远,他懒散、不修边幅,甚至是放荡不羁。他对镜子中的自己说:“从他(指达内)身上,你可以看到你堕落前的模样,你本来可以成为什么样子!跟他对换一下,你是否也会像他那样受到那对蓝眼睛的青睐,像他那样...
