"A Tale of Two Cities" by Charles Dickens is a historical novel set during the French Revolution. The story follows the lives of Charles Darnay, a French aristocrat, and Sydney Carton, an English lawyer, who are both in love with the same woman, Lucie Manette. As the revolution unfolds, the lives of these three characters become increasingly intertwined, and they are forced to confront their own values, loyalties, and sacrifices. Amidst the chaos and violence of the revolution, Darnay is imprisoned in Paris and sentenced to death. Carton, who has long been disillusioned with his own life, sees an opportunity for redemption and decides to sacrifice himself for Darnay's sake. The novel culminates in a dramatic and emotional climax as Carton goes to the guillotine, reciting the famous line, "It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done." "A Tale of Two Cities" is a powerful and poignant story of love, sacrifice, and redemption set against the backdrop of one of the most tumultuous periods in history. It explores themes of social justice, personal responsibility, and the power of human connection in the face of adversity. Dickens' vivid descriptions of life in both London and Paris during the 18th century make the novel an immersive and unforgettable reading experience.

Autorenporträt
Charles Dickens (1812-1870) byl proslulý anglický spisovatel a sociální kritik, veobecn¿ povaovaný za jednoho z nejv¿tích spisovatel¿ viktoriánské éry. Dickens se narodil v anglickém Portsmouthu a proil t¿ké d¿tství poznamenané finan¿ní nouzí, která pozd¿ji do znäné míry ovlivnila jeho tvorbu. Dickens se proslavil sériov¿ vydávanými romány, v nich dokázal spojit humor, pronikavý spole¿enský post¿eh a hluboce lidské charaktery. Jeho díla osv¿tlují problémy chudých, nedostatky institucionálních systém¿ a velké rozdíly mezi spole¿enskými vrstvami v Anglii 19. století. Dnes je Dickens oslavován nejen pro svá poutavá vypráv¿ní, ale také pro sv¿j trvalý vliv na literaturu a spole¿nost.
