Publisher Description

Tomando como punto de referencia la revolución francesa, Dickens muestra los problemas sociales y políticos de Inglaterra, temiendo que la historia se repitiera en su país natal cuando el escribía esta novela.En el contraste de estas dos ciudades presentadas, Inglaterra se presenta como la confianza, la tranquilidad, el futuro asegurado, mientras Francia se convierte más y más peligrosa a medida que avanza la novela. Los actos de violencia realizados por el pueblo francés, están dentro de las escenas más memorables del libro. Dickens rechaza la violencia revolucionaria en sus dos formas, tanto es su forma popular, por las masas, como en su forma institucionalizada como es el terror.Dickens escribió un libro sobre dos ciudades, una que entendía y conocía y la otra que no entendía ni conocía. Su descripción sobre la que no conocía es casi mejor que la que sí conocía.

"This classic novel of the French Revolution centers on a doctor and his daughter. Dr Manette was held in the Bastille for years without a trial, and was a broken man when released. Rehabilitated by his daughter Lucie, he makes a new life in England. When Lucie falls for a young Frenchman, Charles Darnay, it would seem that Manette cannot escape his past. As the novel builds to its climax in Paris, the reader is drawn in completely to this world of revenge and renewal."

    " The first book I read of Charles Dickens. Such a great story teller, a master of language. It was less like reading a book and more like watching a movie unfold in the mind ! The love triangle, the tragedy, it packs all the elements in a grand manner ! For me it's like most hindi movies were made after reading this book. "

    " Seriously one of my favorite books. The symbolism runs rampant. It's a tough read, but definitely worth it. "

    " The problem I have with Dickens (and Hardy for that matter) is the wordiness. My God, it takes Dickens three pages to say what Hemingway would say in two sentences. "

    " Of course this book is old, verbose, and the characters are oftentimes one-dimensional, but I give it fives stars because it has of the greatest characters in all of literature - Sydney Carton. His sacrifice is completely moving and selfless, and shows us that anyone can be redeemed. "

    " I just finished the spanish edition (which had a lot of gramatical and ortographic errors) and I'm still assimilating the beautiful and moving ending. I understand now the reason this book is considered a masterpiece and Dickens a genius. I loved it. "

    " I read this book on Audio and Book version at the same time. Being a English as a Second language girl, it was a hard read without the audio. It really helped doing both at the same time and I got way more details out of the book than my husband who only read it in book version. "

    " Such a miserable story about the French Revolution. The F.R was unfair. During this Revolution, many innocent people were killed just for being one of the aristocratic families! "

    " It is the best of Dickens, it is the worst of Dickens. Both the beginning and ending of this novel rock. The middle portion is dull, which defeats the entire theme of the novel. Oh well, there are better Dickens novels out there. "
