Klappentext

Charles Dickens' masterful historical novel set during the French Revolution, now in a beautiful gift edition for the Union Square & Co. Signature Gilded Editions line. When millions suffer under iron-fisted oppression, when anger and resentment boil into bloody rebellion, when triumph leads to savage vengeance-does one individual life matter? Charles Dickens deftly interweaves the intensely personal dramas of Lucie Manette, Charles Darnay, and Sydney Carton with the terror and chaos of the French Revolution. The result is a powerful story of love, sacrifice, and redemption amid horrific violence and world-changing events. A Tale of Two Cities is Dickens at his most compelling, exploring the duality of human nature and the transformative power of a single, unforgettable choice.
