A tale of two cities

A Tale of Two Cities is one of the masterpieces of the English writer Charles Dickens. It is a historical novel whose events take place in London and Paris during the events of the French Revolution. The novel depicts, in a graceful and suspenseful manner, the plight of the French working class under the brutal oppression of the French aristocracy during the years that led to the revolution, and the brutality practiced by the revolutionaries against the aristocrats in the early years of the revolution.
The novel follows the lives of some people, the most famous of whom in the novel is Charles Darnay, a French aristocrat, who falls victim to the blind revolution that did not distinguish between good and evil despite his good personality, and Sidney Carton, the drunken English lawyer, who sacrifices his life for his love for Darnay's wife, Lucie Manette.
