"A Tale of Two Cities" is a long historical novel set against the background of the French Revolution. The story connects the two major cities of Paris and London, and revolves around the ups and downs of Dr. Manet's family and the Saint-Anton district headed by the Defarges. At the end of the story, Catun went to the guillotine instead of Evremund for the happiness of the one he loved, and calmly sacrificed his life. This book can be called the pinnacle of Dickens's twilight years. The author's in-depth thinking on revolution and human nature and his breathtaking writing talent are vividly demonstrated in it.
