Lucie Manette had been separated from her father for eighteen years while he languished in Paris’s most feared prison, the Bastille. Finally reunited, the Manettes’s fortunes become inextricably intertwined with those of two men, the heroic aristocrat Darnay, and the dissolute lawyer, Carton. Their story, which encompasses violence, revenge, love and redemption, is grippingly played out against the backdrop of the terrifying brutality of the French Revolution.
A Tale of Two Cities begins on a muddy English road in an atmosphere charged with mystery and drama, and it ends in the Paris of the French Revolution with one of the most famous acts of self-sacrifice in literature. In between lies one of Charles Dickens’s most exciting books– a historical novel that, generation after generation, has given readers access to the profound human dramas that lie behind cataclysmic social and political events.
Famous for the character of Sydney Carton, who sacrifices himself upon the guillotine–“It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done”–the novel is also a powerful study of crowd psychology and the dark emotions aroused by the Revolution, and is illuminated by Dickens’s lively comedy.
This edition reprints the original Everyman introduction by G. K. Chesterton and includes sixteen illustrations by Phiz.

評分經典之作,得之我幸。感謝京東,讓利於讀者。
評分訂購後等瞭快一個多月,不過喜歡這個版本,比企鵝的裝幀好!
評分京東能否尊重一下圖書?一本裸書直接扔在紙箱裏,到手磕碰得一塌糊塗,毫無品相可言。雖然你打摺賣得比復印便宜,但是也不能這樣糟蹋名著吧?
評分書非常好,到貨非常快,小哥很給力,京東值得擁有!
