Description
A Tale of Two Cities Annotated Edition (Alma Classics Evergreens) Against the backdrop of growing discontent in Paris, Doctor Manette is released from the Bastille after eighteen years of unjust imprisonment and begins a new life in England with his devoted daughter Lucie. There, two men, Sydney Carton and Charles Darnay, find their lives increasingly intertwined with those of the Manettes. Their peaceful English lives are soon disrupted by the horrors of the Paris Terror and the looming threat of the guillotine. This powerful historical novel explores how epochal events can have a profound impact on personal lives, set against the tumultuous backdrop of 19th-century France. Representing a departure from Dickens' other novels, A Tale of Two Cities is a gripping story that delves into the complexities of human experience during times of great upheaval.
