Question

What is the significance of the messege "Recalled to life" ? it is in the story tale of two cities

Answer 1

Dickens made the phrase "Recalled to Life" purposefully intriguing and mysterious; A Tale of Two Cities was originally published in serial form, so Dickens heightened suspense in order to draw in as many readers as possible.  The catch-phrase, "Recalled to Life," is first used in Chapter Two.  Mr. Jarvis Lorry tells Jerry Cruncher a secret code for the "Mam-selle" at Dover.  Jerry perceives the phrase as a "blazing strange message," but the reader soon deciphers its meaning as a reference to Doctor Manette's rescue from his eighteen years in prison.  At the time of his release, Dr. Manette was mentally unstable and wasting away; his release gives him a new chance to reunite with his daughter Lucy and live peacefully.
