Charles Dickens - A Tale of Two Cities
I have always been moved by the ultimate sacrifice…that of giving up one’s life for the happiness of someone else. And Dickens’s novel explores that spiritual epiphany. A haunting tale contrasting the immensity of the French Revolution and a family tragedy. The lethal, vengeful Paris is set against a leafy, tranquil London, and the talented wastrel Carlton set against the respectable émigré Charles Darnay, their lives both touched by the daughter of Dr Manette. For a relatively short novel, this book is at its ease among giants. We look at what Dickens was trying to tell us about our capacity for love.
