A Tale of Two Cities, one of the most important works of world literature, is shaped around the axis of one of the most active moments in history - the French Revolution - with its plot of events developing between Paris and London. The work, which the literary world describes as "Dickens' greatest historical novel" - and the author himself as "the best story I have ever written" - tells the story of a group of people who had to live in the shadow of the guillotine - in the angry and blood-soaked streets of Paris - during the Terror period of the French Revolution. The lives of Doctor Manette, who was released from the Bastille Prison, where he spent eighteen years, and his daughter, whom he sent to England, take a course beyond their will when they find their way back to Paris. The Tale of Two Cities, which tells the gripping tension - revolution, social struggle, cruelty, poverty and love with its strong lyricism, keeping the pulse of its age - is one of the peaks of classical literature and one of the most powerful stories in history.
