Description
“A Tale of Two Cities” is Charles Dickens’s most widely read novel and an enduring bestseller in the English-speaking world: its total circulation exceeds 200 million copies, and the book has been adapted for screen many times.
The novel is built according to the classic laws of historical fiction, yet it is not a dry chronicle for the reader, but a story of friendship, love, and hatred—of noble impulses and the dark sides of human nature. Bloody revolutionary Paris and, on the surface, orderly London; irreconcilable enmity and selfless devotion; “the time of faith and the time of unbelief,” “the era of light and the era of darkness”; the aristocracy and the very “bottom” of society—everything comes together in a tragic clash of different worlds.
At the heart of the plot are Charles Darnay, a French nobleman who renounced his inheritance in the name of justice, and Sydney Carton, an Englishman whose apparent carelessness conceals nobility and inner strength. Their paths converge because of their love for the same woman—Lucie Manette, the daughter of a former Bastille prisoner.
In autumn 2026— a series starring Kit Harington.
