This softcover edition presents Charles Dickens's famed historical novel set during the French Revolution, regarded by many literary scholars as one of the bestselling novels of all time; its 1859 publication helped secure Dickens's place in literature's pantheon of great writers. The book explores such important themes as violence, duality, resurrection, revolution, and the significance of women's roles in social change. After eighteen years as a political prisoner in the Bastille, the aging Dr. Manette is finally released and reunited with his daughter Lucie in London. However, there he meets two very different men, connected through their love for Lucie Manette. Drawn against their will to Paris at the height of the French Revolution's Reign of Terror, they all soon fall under the lethal, far-reaching shadow of "La Guillotine."
