A "Tale of Two Cities" is a historical novel by "Charles Dickens", set in London and Paris before and during the French Revolution.

Explanation:

  • The novel narrates the story of the French Doctor named Manette,  and his 18-years imprisonment in the "Bastille" in Paris & his release from the prison to live in London with his "daughter Lucie", whom he had never met. The story is set against the conditions which led up to the "French Revolution & the Reign of Terror".
  • The "Tale of Two Cities" has the French revolution at its backdrop. Dickens had depicted the impacts of the "Reign of Terror" on a small group of people who got involved in these "public events" much against their will. Dickens has"conveyed" the poverty conditions through different chapters. Also the arrogance & callousness of the nobility has been depicted in different chapters. Though "A Tale of Two Cities" is a work of fiction, most of the information about the "Reign of Terror" is true
  • During the French "Reign of Terror", a "de-Christianisation movement" swept across France, proclaiming  that the only religion in France is "liberty, equality, fraternity" (that later had become the official motto of the nation)
  • During the "Reign of Terror", the French aristocrats were guillotined  brutally & mercilessly by revol"utionaries on the squares of the capital and these aristocrats suffered every unthinkable act.
  • There were laws identifying those who were to be detained as counter-revolutionaries and monitoring commissions formed to classify criminals and issue warrants of arrest. Subsequent legislation suspended suspects' rights to legal assistance and public prosecution and authorized execution  all of those convicted. Many legislation defined the govt's price regulation, seized the lands of those who were  found guilty of not supporting the Revolution,  and supported the needy and disabled with public assistance.
