World Classics: a Tale of Two Cities (English Version, 3 Volumes in Total)

This book is a classic masterpiece by Dickens. It is in English and should not be missed by English lovers. It mainly tells the story of the famous doctor Manette during the French Revolution who accidentally witnessed the atrocities committed by the feudal aristocrats Evermonde brothers who took human lives indiscriminately. Because of the injustice, he was thrown into the Bastille and imprisoned for 18 years. After being released from prison, Manette's daughter Lucy fell in love with her enemy's son Danai. In the whirlpool of the French Revolution, scenes of family grudges and hatreds were staged grandly. The novel was written in the 1850s, during a period of rapid development of the British capitalist economy. The various evils brought about by capitalist development and the impoverishment of working people's lives have led to extreme resentment and dissatisfaction among the lower classes. British society is on the verge of a social revolution. This is very similar to the social status quo in France at the end of the 18th century. By comparing the two cities, Dickens provided a reference and warning to the British society at that time.
