Description

"Set mainly during the French Revolution in a lethal, vengeful Paris and a leafy, tranquil London, the two cities of the title are only one of the novel's stark dichotomies, which are continued as Sydney Carton and Charles Darnay are drawn towards their separate destinies - their lives touched by the same woman." "In his introduction, Richard Maxwell discusses the novel's intricate design, in which Dickens interweaves epic drama with personal tragedy."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
