Book Summary

A Tale of Two Cities is a historical novel set against the turbulent backdrop of the French Revolution, moving between London and Paris. The story follows Charles Darnay, a French aristocrat who rejects his family’s oppressive legacy, and Sydney Carton, a disillusioned English lawyer who finds purpose through his unrequited love for Lucie Manette. Lucie, the daughter of Dr. Manette—wrongfully imprisoned for 18 years in the Bastille—becomes the emotional center that binds the characters. When Darnay is arrested in revolutionary France and sentenced to death, Carton performs an extraordinary act of self-sacrifice by taking Darnay’s place at the guillotine. Through themes of resurrection, sacrifice, injustice, and the brutality of revolution, the novel explores the best and worst of human nature. Its famous opening line (“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times”) reflects the novel’s contrast between chaos and hope.
