Synopsis

'It was the best of times, it was the worst of times'

Amidst the brewing chaos of the French Revolution, the cities of London and Paris witness a stirring tale of love and sacrifice. Two men who share the same face but belong to different worlds-former aristocrat Charles Darnay and disillusioned barrister Sydney Carton-fall in love with the same woman: Lucie Manette, a gentle force who brings light into their dark lives.

As the revolution reaches a peak, tragedy strikes. Travelling into France to rescue an old family servant, Charles Darnay is caught and imprisoned for being an aristocrat. Through courtroom dramas, mistaken identities, prison rescues and shocking sacrifices, Dickens asks one simple question: Will love triumph over revolution?

À propos de l'auteur

Charles Dickens was born in 1812 and grew up in poverty. This experience influenced 'Oliver Twist', the second of his fourteen major novels, which first appeared in 1837. When he died in 1870 he was buried in Poets' Corner in Westminster Abbey as an indication of his huge popularity as a novelist, which endures to this day.
