Book Review

The tale of two cities is a long historical novel written by Charles Dickens in the context of the French Revolution. It was first published in 1859. In the story, Paris and London are linked, and the story revolves around the Doctor Manette family and the San Antonio District headed by the Defarges. In the novel, it describes how the nobles corrupt and injure the common people. The hatred of nobles in the hearts of the people leads to the inevitable French Revolution. This is the best of times and the worst of times. In the book, I feel deeply the cruelty of Lucie's father and those who died on the guillotine in the French Revolution. Therefore, when the French people are striving for freedom and democracy, many innocent lives are also passing away. It turns out that the French people I have been lamenting are not as perfect as I thought. In this book, they show more the evil nature of their revolution.
