A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens.
Explanation:
- A Tale of Two Cities, a novel by Charles Dickens, was published serially and in book form in 1859. The story is set against the backdrop of the French Revolution in the late 18th century.
- Although Dickens borrows for his monumental story the history of Thomas Carlyle, London from the French Revolution and revolutionary Paris, the novel presents more drama than accuracy. The scenes of mass mob violence are particularly vivid if superficial in historical understanding.
- The complex plot involves Sidney Carton sacrificing his life on behalf of his friends Charles Darnay and Lucie Manet. While political events move the story, Dickens takes a decidedly apolitical tone, lamenting aristocratic tyranny and revolutionary excesses—the latter memorably caricatured in Madame Defarge, who weaves beside the guillotine.
- The book is possibly adequately realized for its opening cords, "It was the nicest of periods, it was the worst of times," and for Carton's final speech, in which he speaks about swiveling Darnay into a prison cell. , "This one is far better than ever, what I do; it's a far, far better rest than I know, wherever I go."
