Description
The opening – "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times..." – and closing –
"It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest
that I go to than I have ever known." – of the book are among the most famous lines
in English literature.
The book tells, first and foremost, the story of Charles Darnay and Sydney Carton,
who look similar but are very different in their personalities. Darnay is a romantic
French aristocrat; Carton is a cynical English barrister. Both fall deeply in love with
the same woman, Lucie Manette.
