Original title, A Tale of Two Cities, is a novel by British writer Charles Dickens. In this historical novel, life is narrated in the 18th century, at the time of the French Revolution. The story takes place in two countries: England and France, and in the cities of London and Paris at the time of the dawn of the French Revolution.The novel begins with the young Luc???a Manette who, together with Mr. Lorry (her father's former employee), rescues her father whom she believed to be dead and takes him to live in England, after spending 18 years confined and forgotten in the prison of the Bastille, where he was locked up in dungeon 105 of the north tower by the bloodthirsty Saint Evremont family.Five years later, Lucia and her father witness the moment when a French nobleman accused of espionage named Charles Darnay is found innocent in an English court. In that trial, Charles was aided by Sidney Carton, a rude lawyer who has a reputation as a drunk and a former suitor of Lucia, who has destroyed her talent and remains in love with her.A few months later, on the eve of Charles and Lucia's wedding, the lawyer Carton visits her while he is not at home and promises, knowing that his heart belongs to Charles, that he will give his life for her, or for someone she loves. That said, she withdraws from her, not before making him promise that she will remember him as the good and worthy man that he once was.On the day of the wedding with Lucia, Charles Darnay confesses to the father of his future wife that his real surname is Saint Evremont and that he is the last descendant of that aristocratic and murderous family, but that he denies being one.
