Charles Dickens’s a Tale of Two Cities portrays a world on fire, split between Paris and London and brings to life a time of terror and treason and a starving people rising in frenzy and hate to overthrow a\ncorrupt and decadent regime. 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\nLucie Manette. From the tranquil lanes of London, they are all drawn against their will to the vengeful,\nbloodstained streets of Paris at the height of the Reign of Terror and soon fall under the lethal shadow of La Guillotine.\n
