500			_aIt was a time of terror and treason...a time of starving, oppressed people rising in revolt against an unconcerned aristocracy...a time when two cities, London and Paris, were caught up in this frenzy and hatred. Into this setting, Charles Dickens introduces his memorable characters, whose lives become excitingly intertwined: Dr. Alexandre Manette, the long-suffering prisoner in the Bastille; Lucie, his devoted daughter; Madame Defarge, the vengeful French woman knitting her patterns of death; Charles Darnay, the one-time aristocrat with compassion for the poor peasants; and Sidney Carton, the heroic failure who sacrifices his life for the happiness of the woman he loves. In the shadow of the terrible guillotine, these characters live an unforgettable TALE OF TWO CITIES.
