Charles Dickens’ Novel of the Month: A Tale...

A Tale of Two Cities is one of Charles Dickens most famous historical novels. It deals with major themes of duality, revolution, and resurrection. Throughout the novel, Dickens presents the hardships of each social class during the French Revolution. He interweaves the intensely personal dramas of two very different men, Charles Darnay, an exiled French aristocrat, and Sydney Carton, a disreputable but highly regarded English lawyer, as they become entangled through their love for Lucie Manette, the daughter of a political prisoner.
