About This Novel
Charles Dees called A Tale of Two Cities his "best work". The story is set against the backdrop of the French Revolution in the 18th century, connecting the two major cities of Paris and London. Manette, a famous doctor living in Paris, accidentally witnessed the atrocities committed by the feudal aristocrats Evermonde brothers who treated human life indiscriminately. Because of their injustice, he was thrown into the Bastille and imprisoned for eighteen years. After being released from prison, Manette's daughter Lucy fell in love with her enemy's son Dardenne. As a result, in the vortex of the French Revolution, scenes of family grudges were grandly staged... Through the confrontation of love and hate, and the struggle between good and evil, as the author said, "love can always defeat hate" and "evil is often short-lived and will perish together with the evildoer, while good will last forever", achieving the author's consistent creative intention of punishing evil and promoting good.
