About
After eighteen years as a political prisoner in Bastille, the venerable Dr. Manette gets released and reunited with his daughter in England. Charles Darnay, an exiled French and Sydney Carton, a brilliant but louche lawyer fall in love with Lucie Manette. Both of them become apprentices of La Guillotine and are dragged into the bloody streets of Paris.
This book is a great parable, written by one of the most classical writers of all time.
