Riassunto

In his crowning masterpiece, "A Tale of Two Cities," Dickens tells the story of Charles Darnay, a French aristocrat living in England, who returns to France amid the tumult of the Revolution, to save a wrongfully imprisoned man. When Darnay is put on trial himself by the Revolutionaries, only his friend Sydney Carton, a dissolute barrister secretly in love with Darnay’s wife, has the power to save him. The result is one of the most beautiful—and certainly most famous—acts of self-sacrifice in all of English literature. With over 200 million copies sold, "A Tale of Two Cities" continues to be loved today for its masterful prose and profound moral vision.
