A Tale of Two Cities

Resume du livre

<em>A Tale of Two Cities</em> is Charles Dickens’s
great historical novel, set against the violent upheaval of the French
Revolution. The most famous and perhaps the most popular of his works,
it compresses an event of immense complexity to the scale of a family
history, with a cast of characters that includes a bloodthirsty ogress
and an antihero as believably flawed as any in modern fiction. Though
the least typical of the author’s novels, <em>A Tale of Two Cities</em>
still underscores many of his enduring themes—imprisonment, injustice,
social anarchy, resurrection, and the renunciation that fosters renewal.
