A Tale of Two Cities is Charles Dickens's most popular novel and an undisputed bestseller in English-speaking countries, with over 200 million copies in print and numerous film adaptations.

The novel follows the tried-and-true formula of the historical novel, but it is not a chronicle, but a story about friendship, love, and hate, about the lofty and basest human emotions. Bloody revolutionary Paris and seemingly tranquil London, stubborn hatred and devoted love, "days of faith and days of unbelief," "seasons of light and seasons of darkness," high society and the very bottom of society—a tragic clash of different worlds.

At the center of the story are Charles Darnay, a French aristocrat who renounced his heritage for the sake of justice, and Sydney Carton, an Englishman whose outward casualness conceals nobility and fortitude. Their destinies are intertwined through their love for the same woman—Lucie Manette, the daughter of a former Bastille prisoner.
