书籍简介

在巴士底狱做了18年的政治犯后，年迈的马内特医生终于被释放，并在英国与他的女儿团聚。书中有两个截然不同的人，一个是流亡的法国贵族查尔斯·代尔那，一个是声名狼藉但才华横溢的英国律师西德尼·卡登，他们因对路茜·曼内特的爱情而陷入爱河。

在恐怖统治的鼎盛时期，他们被迫走上充满复仇心重、血迹斑斑的巴黎街头，很快就被致命的断头台阴影笼罩。

After eighteen years as a political prisoner in the Bastille the aging Dr Manette is finally released and reunited with his daughter in England. There two very different men, Charles Darnay, an exiled French aristocrat, and Sydney Carton, a disreputable but brilliant English lawyer, become enmeshed through their love for Lucie Manette.

From the tranquil lanes of London, they are all drawn against their will to the vengeful, bloodstained streets of Paris at the height of the Reign of Terror and soon fall under the lethal shadow of La Guillotine.
