A Tale of Two Cities is a historical novel written by Charles Dickens. Set in London and Paris before and during the French Revolution, the novel tells the story of two men, Charles Darnay and Sydney Carton, who look alike but are very different in character. Darnay, a French aristocrat, renounces his title and moves to England where he falls in love with Lucie Manette, the daughter of a French doctor who was imprisoned in the Bastille for 18 years. Carton, a drunken lawyer, also loves Lucie but knows that she will never love him back. When Darnay is arrested in France for his family's crimes, Carton comes up with a plan to save him by sacrificing himself. The novel explores themes of love, sacrifice, and the brutality of the French Revolution.It was the Best of Times.
