具体描述

Dickens's historical novel of the French Revolution, in a gorgeous new clothbound edition

After eighteen years as a political prisoner in the Bastille the aging Dr Manette is finally released and reunited with his daughter in England. 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 Lucie Manette. From the tranquil lanes of London, they are all drawn against their will to the vengeful, bloodstained streets of Paris at the height of the Reign of Terror and soon fall under the lethal shadow of La Guillotine.

狄更斯的此书最初读到的只是片段，后来找来完整的全书来读，这也是很多年前的事情。过去多年之后，对于此书最深刻的印象却不是关于主人公的爱情线，而是那些关于法国大革命的背景描写。书中的法国大革命似乎不同于我们历史教科书的那场大革命，各种残暴与死亡交织其中，这或许...
