Resumo de A Tale Of Two Cities

Being a Dickens fan, I liked all his books that I have read.But A TALE OF TWO CITIES is one of my most favoured one.The book has every thing in it.The story starts before the french revolution started and continues to follow up to the time it started.The times are described wonderfully,the cruelty of the rulers and nobels,the reaction of the common people.It has valuable instances of self-sacrife for the sake of people you love. The story begins with the reunion of a father and daughter( the Manettes ),who have never seen each other,with the help of the father?s banker or agent.The father,after being released from prison(Bastille),is taken care of by faithful servants, who now run a wine shop and later play an important role in the Revolution.The father after many years of hardships and pains is mentally unstable but the daughter, Lucy ,with all her love and patience cures him. Then the scene shifts to a court room where a man Charles Darnay is saved by his look-alike lawyer(a drunkard and much misunderstood man) Sydney Carton ,who can be called the tragic hero of this novel.Well now the Manettes were acquainted with Charles.And Charles and Lucy in love with each other.But the turning comes when Lucy comes to know that Sydney Carton also loves her.He tells her that he knows Lucy doesn?t love him and that he wants nothing in return for his love. Lucy respects him for that but she marries Charles. But her father who has recovered after five years? patient care, gets a big shock when he comes to know that Charles Darnay actually belongs to the French family of nobels for whom Doctor Manette had suffered much.and he again goes back to mental instability,but also recovers soon again.In the meanwhile Charles Darnay ,who though of the french nobility has nothing to do with, it goes back to France in the time of the French revolution and gets arrested by the common people,who were mad with rage and arrested everyone who had anything to do with the ruling class.Consequently,Lucy ,a mother now ,her daughter,father,the agent now a family friend comes to France.Sydney Carton also follows to try ways to help them.But after many attempts made by friends to save Charles,he gets a death sentence,which completely shatters Lucy.Sydney Carton unable to see Lucy in such a state takes Charles? place in prison and gets the Manettes out of Paris with Charles, and sacrifices his life for Lucy?s happiness.he recieves death smiling and happy that in his life he has done something good and memorable.this is how the story ends.
