Explanation:
A Tale of Two Cities is a novel by Charles Dickens that was published in 1859. It is one of Dickens’ most famous works, and it was a huge hit when it was released. It’s about the French Revolution, but not from the perspective of those who participated in it—instead, it tells the story from the point of view of an Englishman named Charles Darnay and his wife Lucie Manette.
The novel follows Darnay as he is accused of murder and sent to prison during the Reign of Terror (the period during which many people were executed as traitors because they were suspected to be enemies of France). He eventually escapes with help from Sydney Carton. Meanwhile, Carton has fallen in love with Lucie Manette and decides to save her husband’s life at all costs—even if it means sacrificing himself in the process.
The book has been adapted into several films over its long history including a version starring Ronald Colman as Sydney Carton in 1931, which won Best Picture at the Oscars that year!
