这是世界最伟大的批判现实主义杰作之一，也是英国文豪狄更斯作品中故事情节最曲折惊险、最惊心动魄的小说之一，小说以18世纪的法国大革命为背景，故事中将巴黎、伦敦两个大城市连结起来，叙述梅尼特医生一家充满了爱与冒险的遭遇，中间穿插了贵族的残暴、人民的愤怒、审判间谍……本书为全英文版。

With his sublime parting words,"It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done...," Sidney Carton joins that exalted group of Dickensian characters who have earned a permanent place in the popular literary imagination. His dramatic story,set against the volcanic fury of the French Revolution and pervaded by the ominous rumble of the death carts trundling toward the guillotine, is the heart-stirring tale of a heroic soul in an age gone mad.

A masterful pageant of idealism, love,and adventure--in a Paris bursting with revolutionary fienzy and a London alive with anxious anticipation--A Tale of Two Cities is one of Dickens’s most famous works.
